Orbital valve seat grinding for motorcycles and small engines
PEG 8 is an engine valve seat grinder that works according to a planetary system.
Thanks to an abrasive wheel, it allows the grinding of engine valve seats with diameters between 16 and 48 millimeters.

DESCRIPTION
The PEG 8 is a precision-engineered valve seat grinding machine designed for the reconditioning of engine valve seats with diameters from Ø 16 to 48 mm.
Specifically developed for professional engine rebuilders and valve service workshops, the PEG 8 ensures high-precision machining on both standard and hard valve seats, thanks to its orbital grinding system.
Orbital Grinding Technology for Maximum Precision
Unlike traditional systems, the PEG 8 operates with a planetary movement that combines three simultaneous grinding actions:
- Rotational movement of the grinding wheel
- Orbital (planetary) movement of the grinding head
- Pendulum (oscillating) movement of the whole assembly
This triple action ensures constant point contact between the grinding stone and the valve seat surface.
As a result, the PEG 8 delivers flawless concentricity and a mirror-smooth finish, without the need for lapping after grinding.
In fact, post-process lapping is not recommended as it would negatively affect the surface quality achieved.
High-Quality Construction and Durability
Built from ground and hardened components such as the spindle, eccentric shaft, and pilot guides, the PEG 8 ensures outstanding mechanical stability and dimensional precision.
All rotating parts are carefully balanced to eliminate radial and axial play, even after prolonged use.
Thanks to the robust construction and precision assembly, the PEG 8 offers:
- Exceptional surface finish
- Long-lasting durability
- Perfect concentricity between the valve seat and valve guide axis
This makes it particularly suitable for working on modern engine heads with hardened seats, as found in racing engines, industrial motors, and even aerospace applications.
The machine is maintenance-free, requiring only routine cleaning to remove grinding dust from pilot shafts and stone holders.
Versatile Configurations
The PEG 8 is available in four versions, to meet the specific needs of different users:
- STANDARD – Base configuration with essential accessories
- Univer – Includes extended accessories for a broader range of applications
- MOTORIZED UNIT ONLY – Head only, for integration into custom setups
- AVIO – Special version with a long spindle for use on blind cylinders, such as those found in aircraft engines or military vehicles
Each variant is supplied with a dedicated kit of pilot guides, stone holders, grinding wheels, and transport cases.
