The Serdi 100 ES is a professional-grade valve-guide and valve-seat cutting machine, widely regarded for its precision, robustness, and flexibility across automotive, heavy-duty, marine, and stationary-engine cylinder heads. The 100 ES uses Serdi’s patented double-air-cushion centering system, which automatically aligns the spindle and head plate to valve guides — even on large, irregular, or heavy cylinder heads — ensuring accurate and concentric valve seat machining.
With a heavy-duty frame, powerful built-in spindle, and a seat-diameter range from 28 mm to 120 mm (≈ 1.1″–4.72″), the 100 ES is well suited for everything from passenger-car heads to marine or heavy-duty diesel cylinder heads with large valves.
Whether you’re re-seating valves, machining guides, or preparing heads for rebuilds, the Serdi 100 ES delivers accuracy, repeatability, and versatility — making it a core piece for any serious engine-work facility.

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.
