The AMC-Schou K-1500U is a heavy-duty crankshaft-grinding machine built to tackle mid- to large-size crankshafts, ideal for engine rebuild shops, diesel rebuilders, and industrial engine shops. With a long between-chuck capacity (up to 64″ / 1625 mm) and a large swing-over-table (690–750 mm / 27–29.5″), this “U”-style grinder gives you flexibility to work on long or large-diameter crankshafts that smaller grinders can’t handle.
Built on a rugged cast-iron bed with robust bearings and hydraulic controls, the K-1500U is designed for stability, precision, and longevity — even under heavy shop use. It’s a workhorse for shops that want dependable, repeatable journal grinding for mains or rods without constantly needing to outsource.

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.
