The AMC-Schou K-1200U is a heavy-duty crankshaft grinding machine built for engine rebuild shops, performance shops, and garages needing a robust grinder for small- to medium-size crankshafts. With a 1200 mm (47.2″) max distance between chucks and 460 mm (18″) swing-over-table capacity, it handles most automotive and light-duty diesel crankshafts comfortably. Its rugged cast-iron foundation, hydraulic drives for headstock and wheel slide, and over-dimensioned bearings ensure stable, vibration-free grinding — ideal for consistent journal finishes, accurate diameter control, and long-term reliability.

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.
