The AMC-Schou K-1200CNC is a precision crankshaft-grinding machine engineered for small to mid-size crankshafts, ideal for engine rebuild shops, performance shops, and diesel rebuilders. Built on a heavy cast-iron bed, with hardened guideways and CNC control (X, Z and C axes), the K-1200CNC delivers repeatable accuracy, smooth operation, and efficient workflow — whether you’re grinding main journals, rod journals, or balancing throws. Standard equipment includes universal chucks, steady rest, crank-centering gauges, coolant system, and dressing tools — meaning the machine is ready to grind shafts right out of the crate.
This model is especially well suited for shops that value precision, reliability, and controlled setup time — with a compact footprint compared to larger “U-style” grinders, yet still offering enough capacity for many common crankshafts.

Decades before today’s engine shops trusted our equipment, Tony was already deep in the craft — rebuilding motors, machining blocks, and pushing for better precision.
A local newspaper once featured him as a standout young machinist, noting his drive, attention to detail, and obsession with doing things the right way. That same passion would eventually shape our company’s values.
Today, that commitment lives on in every machine we sell, every customer we support, and every shop we help succeed.
