AMC-Schou SG-1400V Surface Grinding Machine

The SG-1400V is a versatile, wet-surface grinding machine built for engine shops and industrial machine shops alike. With a compact footprint yet ample table size and grinding capacity, it’s ideal for resurfacing engine blocks, cylinder heads, flywheels, and other metal workpieces. Its robust cast-iron construction, telescopic guards, and continuously lubricated guideways ensure stability, long life, and high-quality finishes — regardless of the part height or material.

 

Because of its variable speed and feed settings, the SG-1400V can handle a wide range of materials and finishing needs — from heavy cast iron blocks to aluminum heads. For engine rebuilders or machine shops that want reliable, shop-grade surfacing without over-size industrial grinders, this machine represents a strong balance of capacity, precision, and price.

Key Features

  • Medium-Size, Shop-Friendly Wet Grinder — Balanced dimensions make SG-1400V ideal for small to mid-sized shops, yet capable enough for serious block/head resurfacing.
  • Ample Work Capacity — Max grinding length: 55.1″ (≈ 1400 mm); max width: 13.4″ (≈ 340 mm); max workpiece height: 33.5″ (≈ 850 mm) — roomy enough for many engine blocks, heads, and large parts.
  • Variable Wheel Speed & Feed — Grinding wheel rpm stepless, up to ~1425 rpm; wheel head traverse stepless up to ~118.1 in/min — flexibility to match material and finish requirements.
  • Telescopic Guards + Central Lubrication — Protect guideways and ensure continuous lubrication for smooth, consistent table movement and long machine life.
  • Included Accessories & Fixtures — Supplied with wheel-dressing tool, alignment/depth-control device, and a cylinder-head setting fixture — useful for resurfacing heads and blocks without extra purchases.
  • Wet Grinding System — Built-in coolant tank (≈ 24.7 gal / ~95 L) helps manage heat and swarf — important when resurfacing cast-iron or aluminum components for engine work.

Built on Real Engine-Rebuilding Experience

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.
