Felony I understand now thanks for the reply. He is not the first i have a few guys near me that have done it. I couldnt believe the amount of work and cost thats what i tried to explain in my post, and why i asked about what was involved. I bought a new machine cause i needed a block surfacer as well at the time so i figured one machine could do blocks and heads and the upgrade to have CBN (PCD) and carbide. these both are the disc style new cutters,has variable speed on the cutter and table. I have surfaced 3 heads (aluminium) so far, and just surfaced a sbc last night the finish is amazing to say the least!! the sbc i havent got the finish where i want it its good but not as good as i expected and as i type this i now know why
i bet the old man didnt switch the cutter to carbide.. The speed is a big thing with these cutters.. My 85b leaves a really good finish but not what the import and LS guys excpect.. I loved reading the context from engine builder magazine post above an want to print part of it to give to certain customers. The Internet is great but WE as Engine builders have to answer a lot of ?'s or enlighten the customer on things that we wouldnt have had to in the past. as the info WE provide sometimes causes this gotta run Dave
