Kwik-Way SVS II Deluxe Valve Refacer
Frustrating the Competition for 85 Years
Many have tried; Some have come close
But None have duplicated the Accuracy of the
Kwik-Way Six-Ball Centerlining Chuck
Based on fundamental design principles that existed in 1920 and still exist today,
Kwik-Way Remains
The Most Accurate Valve Grinding System Ever Conceived: .0002 or less *
* with High Performance Chuck
The Kwik-Way Principle: CENTERLINE
The Kwik-Way "Centerlining System" is the only way to correct and align valve faces to that portion of the valve stem operating in the guide. Unless a valve is scientifically aligned, the valve face will be ground eccentric to its true center. A new valve is true and mechanically accurate in all its proportions. The valve face and stem are concentric with the same centerline.
Warping occurs only in that part of the valve that is subject to extreme heat - the portion above the guide and in the valve head. To correct a warped valve so it will function properly when replaced in the engine, the valve face must be restored to concentricity with the portion of the stem that operates in the guide. The Kwik-Way "Centerlining System" assures this alignment and accuracy.
Straight Valve
Warped Valve
EXCLUSIVE SIX-BALL CHUCK DESIGN
Six-ball alignment for perfect grinding: Every Kwik-Way chuck features two sets of balls - 3 balls to a set - which grip the valve stem on that part which travels in the valve guide.
This exclusive six-ball, compound compensating, self-centering chuck automatically aligns the valve, refacing it concentric with the original centerline of the valve system
Every Kwik-Way SVS II is equipped with this air-activated, self-aligning six-ball chuck that is accurate to within .0002” with the High Performance Chuck (.0005" with standard chuck)
Six-Ball Chuck: Air-Activated • Self-Aligning • No other system is as accurate and precise
Consistent Accuracy:
The main advantage that others have failed to duplicate is Kwik-Way’s exclusive six-ball centerlining chuck. The two sets of balls (three in each set), automatically find the existing valve stem centerline. This chuck handles any valve stem from 4mm to 14.3mm. Other machines can require as many as nine separate collets to achieve the same range.
Collet and "so-called centerless grinders" transfer wear from the valve stem directly to the valve face during grinding. Historically, these designs are only capable of achieving their advertised accuracy on NEW valves. The Kwik-Way Six-Ball, Centerlining Chuck design triangulates (or centers in) the wear area of the valve stem in order to grind the face concentric to the actual stem centerline. Because the two sets of centering balls act independently, taper on the valve stem will not affect accuracy (even on new valves). This feature is available EXCLUSIVELY with the SIX-BALL CENTERLINING CHUCK - a standard feature on all KWIK-WAY SVS II DELUXE Valve Refacers.
The Kwik-Way design features dovetail ways which remain adjustable for long-term accuracy. The valve position swivel plate is indexed in 1º increments to ensure accuracy of grinding angles from 13º to 62º.
Designed with You in Mind
Features Benefits
Air-Operated, Six-Ball Chuck
Self- Aligning and accurate to within .0002” with the optional High Performance Chuck - .0005 with standard chuck.
Consistent Accuracy
Two sets of 3 balls automatically find the existing valve stem centerline to assure valve grinding accuracy.
Valve Stems: 4.0mm to 14.3 mm - up to 21mm (11.11mm to 20.6mm) with optional chuck assembly: 012-1025-21
Other machines can require up to 9 separate collets to achieve the same range.
Variable Speed Chuck
Valve faces are made from different materials and also have various diameters. To provide consistent finishes, Kwik-Way's infinitely variable speed chuck allows the operator to vary the valve speed quickly and accurately to provide the optimum finish.
Saves Time
Air-activated chuck opens quickly to its full diameter with the touch of a button. Operators can work through a wide range of valve sizes without stopping to change collets or make chuck adjustments. Unlike many other grinders, it is not mandatory to pre-grind the valve tip to achieve accurate results - saving time and repetitive motion for the operator.
Stem Grinding
Standard attachment for butt-end grinding and stem chamfering increases the equipment’
capabilities.
Rocker Arm Grinding
The standard equipment rocker arm attachment allows the operator to quickly reface most shaft-mounted rocker arms.
Adjustable Swivel Plate
The valve position swivel plate adjusts in 1° increments from 13° to 62° to assure accuracy of the grinding angle.
Designed for Safety
The exposed area of the grinding wheel faces away from the operator who is shielded by the protective housing.
Superior Visibility
Operator looks directly at the valve face without leaning over the machine.
Clean Operation
Coolant stays in the machine - doesn’t spray the operator or the adjacent work area.
Longer Wheel Life
Kwik-Way Original Equipment wheels, grinding oil and diamonds assure longer wheel life by requiring less frequent dressing and more valves serviced.
Diamond Dressing Arm
Swivels into the last position used and is locked without the need for special tools or wrenches.
Storage Cabinet
Optional heavy duty cabinet and floor stand provides convenient storage and conserves space.
4.0mm - 14.3 mm
Handy Heavy Duty Cabinet, designed
for the SVS II Deluxe Valve Refacer, is
sold separately.
Butt Grinding fixture is standard with all Kwik-Way SVS II Deluxe Valve Refacers
Rocker Arm Grinding fixture is standard with all Kwik-Way SVS II Deluxe Valve Refacers
