Key Features

  • Large Bore Capacity & Flexible Cylinder Compatibility — Handles small automotive cylinders up to larger diesel or industrial bores, giving wide flexibility for mixed workloads.

  • Horizontal Honing Design — Ideal for Block Work — Straightforward loading and clamping of engine blocks or sleeves; ideal for cylinder-to-cylinder consistency and batch processing.

  • Durable Construction for Shop Environments — Built with heavy-duty frame and durable honing components to withstand frequent use, abrasive media, and shop-floor conditions.

  • Adaptable Tooling & Stone Options — Compatible with a variety of honing stones, sleeves, and tooling to match different materials and finish requirements — useful for cast iron, steel, or specialty alloys.

  • Surface Finish & Geometry Control — Designed to deliver consistent bore finish, roundness, and taper control — important for engine rebuilds, cylinder refits, and quality reman work.

  • Cost-Effective Used Machine Option — Buying used allows shops to expand their honing capability at a fraction of the cost of new machines — a smart choice if you’re building up capacity or offering cylinder work services.

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.
