Grinding is a very small amount of cutting light finishing processing methods, generally, rarely appear grinding scrap. Valve sealing surface because the dimensional accuracy is not very high, grinding scrap is rarer. Sealing surface grinding often occurs in the geometry is incorrect, surface scratches and pulling grooves and other defects. Common defect forms, causes, and prevention methods are shown below.

 


Defect form: Scratching, pulling hair

Cause 1: The abrasive is mixed with individual coarse abrasive particles

Prevent method 1: Use the water sedimentation method to sort the abrasives and strengthen the storage of abrasives.

 

Cause 2: Dust, iron chips or other debris are mixed in the abrasive

Prevent method 2: The container of abrasive should be covered, and the configuration should be kept clean.

 

Cause 3: The workpiece is not clean or has burrs

Prevent method 3: The sealing surface should be deburred and cleaned before grinding

 

Cause 4: The lapping machine or grinding tool is not clean

Prevent method four: the best primary research machine and fine research very separate, and pay attention to the lapping machine and research tool cleaning

 

Cause 5: Too much dust in the workshop

Prevention method 5: Establish a closed grinding room and keep it clean.

 

Defective form: incorrect geometry

Cause 1: Improper grinding motion

Prevention method 1: improve the grinding motion

 

Cause 2: Abrasive is too thick or unevenly applied

Prevention method 2: Use thinner abrasive and pay attention to uniform application

Cause 3: Uneven grinding pressure

Prevent method 3: Even and consistent force when grinding by hand

 

Cause 4: Poor processing accuracy in the previous process

Prevention method 4: Improve the processing accuracy of the previous process and pay attention to prevent the deformation of the workpiece

 

Cause 5: Grinding time is too long

Prevention method 5: Reduce the grinding allowance, try coarser abrasives or improve the grinding speed and increase the grinding pressure

 

Cause 6: Inaccurate grinding tools

Prevention method 6: frequent inspection and repair of the research tool, the research tool wear too fast can be replaced with other wear-resistant materials


Defect form: knife marks or pulling grooves

Cause 1: The quality of the previous process is not good, the luminosity is too low

Prevention method I: The workpiece should be ground before grinding, and the luminosity should not be lower than ▽6 when using fine turning.

 

Cause 2: Abrasive is too coarse

Prevent method two: use fine abrasives

 

Cause 3: The cutting heat generated during grinding is too high

Prevention method three: reduce the grinding pressure, reduce the grinding speed and often add abrasive

The machine that is made by Albertsons and Co is a Sioux. I owned an import car repair shop for 20 years, and my Albertsons
and Co (Sioux) valve grinder, ground HUNDREDS if not thousands of valves for just about every exotic car you can imagine. Great machine- I still have it and occasionally
get sucked into doing valves. Really important to get one where the CHUCK grips the valves accurately, or you have nothing. Although OLD I can vouch for the Albertsons as being
an incredibly fine machine. I think 250 bucks is a steal! The entire machine is repairable or rebuildable, but from your questions, maybe NOT by you.

About 8 months ago, I bought a BRAND NEW Sioux hardseat grinder off of ebay. Maybe it was five hundred bucks, I don't remember, but every piece was still boxed and wrapped, came with an assortment of stones, the dresser and many many pilots, including adjustable ones. I thought THAT was a steal too. So don't expect to get a valve grinder and a hard seat grinder for nothing. I already had a Sioux with TONS of tooling, but a new one just kind of tickled me. It was from the late forties or early fifties. STILL very useful for any engine today.

Valve grinding equipment CAN'T be just a glorified bench grinder. The SIOUX and the Black and Decker were commercial quality machines and when they're new, or in good condition are really
a machine tool. Having the attachment for the Sioux that holds the dresser is almost essential unless you want to waste a lot of time. The right side of the grinder, that's designed to do valve stems, is an incredibly handy grinder for grinding small parts to length. I ground 100's of Jaguar and Maserati valve shims on my Sioux holding them in adapters. A quick and dirty way to square up the ends of any smaller
piece of steel. I think a coolant tank is essential.

Doing heads entails MORE than just buying a couple of used machines. You'll be amazed at just how much tooling you'll need to do all the different types of heads and valves out there. I'm sure I have at least
sixty pilots or more for the guides, and still don't have every one I need for every job. Then you'll discover you've got worn guides bad seats and WHERE does it end? You end up buying a machine tool company, and give up on cars.
