Sunnen CRG-750 Rod and Cap Grinder Red

The Sunnen CRG-750 is a precision rod and cap grinder designed for surface-finishing of connecting rods, caps, bearing surfaces, small journals, and similar machined components. As a used grinder, this CRG-750 provides a cost-effective way for machine shops, rebuilders, or performance shops to add or expand rod/cap grinding capabilities without the investment required for new equipment.

 

This machine is ideal for rebuilding automotive or light-duty diesel engines, refreshing rod and cap surfaces, preparing bearing surfaces before assembly, or general rod-end finish work. Its manageable size and proven design make it a useful addition for shops doing rod/shaft rebuilds, small-batch engine builds, or maintenance 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.
