Correct, I bought a Quic Way valve grinder and Van Norman seat machine 3 years ago for $1100



I been thinking about buying a valve grinder off craigslist for around $500, I keep seeing them pop up on there. As for the seats I keep watching videos of these type things...

The Van Norman has precise cut measurements, not a guess.
