AMC-Schou TG-1 Tool Grinder

The TG-1 is a compact, precision tool-grinder built for shops that need to sharpen and finish their own carbide-tipped boring bars and tooling — especially useful if you run line-boring, cylinder-boring, or block-machining work. With a 150 mm (6″) grinding wheel plus a diamond lapping wheel, the TG-1 ensures that your cutting tools have exact geometry and sharp edges, which helps maximize cutting performance and tool life.

 

Because the TG-1 is purpose-built for tool-preparation rather than large part re-machining, it’s a valuable support machine for any rebuilding shop that wants to stay self-reliant and avoid outsourcing tool sharpening.

Key Features

  • Dedicated Tool Grinding & Lapping — 150 mm (6″) grinding wheel with diamond lapping wheel for precise sharpening and finishing of carbide-tipped boring/milling tools.
  • Ensures Correct Tool Angles — Accurately grinds the cutting angles on tools, which improves cut quality, reduces chatter, and extends tool life — critical when boring cylinder blocks or line-boring mains.
  • Compact & Shop-Friendly — Much smaller footprint and simpler operation than full-size surface or cylindrical grinders, making it easy to fit into most engine-shop environments as a dedicated tool-prep station.
  • Support for Boring & Line-Boring Tools — Especially useful for regrinding or refreshing tools used on boring machines, lathes, and line-borers — helping maintain consistent performance.
  • Durable Build Much Like AMC-Schou’s Other Machines — Built under the same quality standards as their larger machine-tools, ensuring reliability even for frequent sharpening cycles.

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.
