Yes, it's in working condition and beats using a whirlygig on a surface
grinder.


What's a dedicated valve grinder for?
Do you rebuild engines?

Id love to own that thing. Bad part is nobody grinds valves anymore. their
like brake rotors, for 10 bucks you can get a brand new one thats ground
already. cheaper than cleaning and grinding old ones seems.

Couple years ago I was offered a brake relining station - drill, rivet
and grind to shape, basically take it away. not having use or space
for it, I declined. When the property was sold, it was still standing
there outside the shop. Now I keep dreaming up uses for it.
