The RV516.ASM is a precision valve-refacing (grinding) machine designed for resurfacing engine valves (intake/exhaust) with high speed, accuracy, and repeatability. It uses a centerless grinding system — meaning the valve is held and rotated on its stem by motorized rollers instead of a traditional collet or spindle — which ensures excellent concentricity between valve stem and valve head, improving sealing and longevity in rebuilt engines.
Because of its compact size and versatility, RV516.ASM is well suited for engine-rebuilding shops, performance rebuilders, or machine shops handling a wide variety of valves (cars, trucks, motorcycles). Its design avoids frequent tooling changes: it handles a broad range of valve stems and heads without the need to change collets or mandrels.

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.
