The CRG-750 is a well-regarded cap and rod grinder designed for precision work on connecting rods, main caps, bearing surfaces, and other machined components. As a used unit, it offers an affordable way for machine shops, engine-rebuilders, or remanufacturers to add accurate rod/cap grinding capability without investing in a brand-new machine.
Whether you’re rebuilding automotive or light-duty diesel engines, refreshing rod & cap surfaces, or prepping bearing surfaces for reassembly — the CRG-750 delivers the grinding accuracy, surface finish, and consistency you’d expect from a trusted cap/rod grinder. It’s compact enough for many shops, yet rigid and precise enough for demanding rebuild jobs.

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.
