Kwik-Way SVS II Deluxe Valve Grinding Machine

Kwik-Way SVS II Deluxe Centerless Valve Grinder

The Kwik-Way SVS II Deluxe is a high-range valve grinding machine for engine valves, also known as a valve refacer, whose reliability, precision and sturdiness make it a reference point among professional valve grinding machines.

DESCRIPTION

The Kwik-Way SVS II Deluxe is engineered to deliver consistent, professional-grade results in demanding engine rebuilding workflows.

Its body is built from two solid cast-iron blocks that form the basic structure of the machine, providing the rigidity and stability needed to keep vibration low and grinding accuracy high throughout continuous workshop use.

6-BALL CENTERLESS VALVE LOCKING CHUCK

The strong point of this valve grinding machine is undoubtedly its patented 6-ball chuck with pneumatic valve clamping: three front balls and three rear balls housed inside the chuck grip the valve stem while keeping the contact surface between the parts to an absolute minimum, a 2-point locking system commonly known as Centerless that ensures perfect alignment of the valve on its axis for a more accurate grind and fewer rejects.

Closing pneumatically through a foot pedal, the chuck leaves the operator’s hands free and offers variable rotation from 100 to 300 RPM, hosting valve stems from Ø 4 to 14 mm as standard, or up to Ø 21 mm with the optional chuck, while the head that houses the chuck assembly tilts to an angle of up to 62°.

GRINDING WHEELS

The Kwik-Way SVS II Deluxe works with two grinding wheels: a main Ø 178 mm wheel for valve face grinding and a secondary Ø 76 mm wheel that machines the valve tip and chamfer thanks to a dedicated valve support, each equipped with its own diamond dressing tool.

A large 3.8 litre tank feeds coolant to both wheels through two separate flexible nozzles, ensuring consistent lubrication throughout the grinding process.

COMMANDS

The control panel is positioned on the chuck head assembly and includes:

• 3-position selector: Start/Stop grinding wheel motor and chuck motor
• Valve rotation speed variator
• Valve counter

Actuated pneumatically through a pedal control, the chuck is complemented by an automatic limit switch that engages when the traverse handle is moved to the far-right position, completely switching off the grinding wheel motor, the chuck motor and the coolant pump.

A splash guard and an adjustable spotlight complete the machine, while optional accessories such as the sheet-metal cabinet and the small valve collet kit further enhance the Kwik-Way SVS II Deluxe valve grinder.

BENEFITS

• Centerless precision, fewer rejects: the 2-point 6-ball locking keeps the valve perfectly on axis, so refaced valves seal better and scrap rates drop.
• Two operations, one machine: face grinding (Ø 178 mm) and tip/chamfer grinding (Ø 76 mm) without moving the valve to another station.
• Hands-free, faster cycles: pneumatic pedal clamping frees both hands and speeds up valve loading in high-throughput workshops.
• Built-in safety: the automatic limit switch shuts off wheel motor, chuck motor and coolant pump at the end of the stroke.

APPLICATIONS

The Kwik-Way SVS II Deluxe valve grinder is designed for reconditioning intake and exhaust engine valves on cars, motorcycles, vans, trucks, agricultural, marine and small industrial engines. With a head valve diameter range of Ø 19÷101 mm, it covers the vast majority of automotive and light-commercial valves, making it an ideal fit for engine rebuilders, cylinder-head specialists and workshops offering valve refacing as a service.

FAQ

What valve sizes can the Kwik-Way SVS II Deluxe grind?
Valve stems from Ø 4 to 14 mm as standard (up to Ø 21 mm with the optional KC1121 chuck) and head diameters from Ø 19 to 101 mm.

What is centerless valve grinding?
It is a 2-point locking method: the patented 6-ball chuck holds the valve stem with minimal contact, keeping the valve perfectly aligned on its axis for a more accurate, repeatable grind.

Does it grind both the valve face and the stem tip?
Yes. The main Ø 178 mm wheel refaces the valve, while the secondary Ø 76 mm wheel grinds the tip and chamfer, both on the same machine.
