7" Titanium Valve Grinding Wheel SVS, SVSIID

Kwik-Way 7” Titanium Valve Grinding Wheel - Precision for High-Performance Valves

This 7-inch Titanium Valve Grinding Wheel is specifically engineered by Kwik-Way for the precision grinding of titanium valves, particularly those found in demanding high-performance engines. Compatible with Kwik-Way SVS and SVSII Deluxe valve refacers, this wheel utilizes Kwik-Way’s proprietary formulation to deliver the best possible finish when used with Kwik-Way grinding oil (000-2112-73) and their exclusive chuck design. Operating at 3450 RPM (6322 SFPM), it requires dressing to a “glassy smooth” surface prior to use, always with coolant. For enhanced results, Keyser Mirror Finish valve grinding aid (000-2111-66) is recommended to eliminate chatter, improve surface quality, and extend stone life.

Kwik-Way 7” Titanium Valve Grinding Wheel - Engineered for Elite Valve Grinding Performance**

The 7-inch Titanium Valve Grinding Wheel is a specialized precision abrasive designed by Kwik-Way to meet the stringent demands of grinding titanium valves, especially those critical components found in high-performance and racing engines. This wheel ensures superior finishes and optimal valve performance.

Engineered for Titanium Valves and Broad Compatibility:

• This grinding wheel is specifically designed and meticulously formulated for the precise and efficient grinding of titanium valves. Its composition is tailored to handle the unique properties of titanium, ensuring effective material removal and a high-quality surface finish.

• With a standard diameter of 7 inches (178mm), it is perfectly compatible with a range of Kwik-Way valve refacers, including the popular SVS and SVSII Deluxe series.

Advanced Material Formulation and Optimized Performance:

• This grinding wheel utilizes the same specialized abrasive formulation that Kwik-Way has historically employed, renowned for its consistent performance and durability.

• For achieving the best possible finish on valve faces, it is essential to use these specially formulated stones in conjunction with genuine Kwik-Way grinding oil (000-2112-73) and leverage the precision of the exclusive Kwik-Way chuck design. Using other products may negatively affect the quality of the finish and potentially reduce the lifespan of the stone.

• Operators have the flexibility to alter the wheel’s cutting performance (e.g., to make it act ‘softer’ or ‘harder’ for different materials or desired finishes) by making precise adjustments to the traverse speed, infeed (the amount of material being removed per pass), or the work speed of the valve refacer.

Crucial Maintenance and Best Practices for Use:

• Coolant Use: It is paramount to always use coolant when dressing the grinding wheel. This prevents overheating, maintains the integrity of the abrasive, and extends wheel life.

• Grinding Technique: Good grinding practice dictates taking very light cuts and slowly passing the wheel back and forth across the valve face multiple times. This methodical approach helps to achieve a superior, consistent finish.

• Dressing for Finish: For the absolute best valve face finish, the wheel should be dressed to a “glassy smooth” surface.

• Pre-Use Dressing: A new or a re-installed grinding wheel must be dressed prior to its first use to true its cutting surface and ensure optimal performance from the outset.

• Grinding Aid Recommendation: For enhanced results, particularly when grinding titanium, stainless steel, and stellite valves, Keyser Mirror Finish valve grinding aid (000-2111-66) is specially formulated. This aid is highly effective in eliminating chatter and wheel loading, significantly improving surface quality, and extending the stone’s operational life.

Operational Specifications and Machine Integration:

• The grinding wheel operates at a high rotational speed of 3450 RPM, providing a rapid surface feet per minute (SFPM) of 6322.

• The main switch on compatible Kwik-Way refacer machines controls both the spindle (which drives the grinding wheel) and the chuck motors simultaneously for seamless operation.

• The machine’s innovative air-activated, self-aligning chuck allows for quick opening to its full diameter at the touch of a button, enabling operators to efficiently work through a wide range of valve sizes without the need to frequently change collets, further streamlining the grinding process.

This 7-inch Titanium Valve Grinding Wheel is an essential investment for shops requiring the highest precision and quality when servicing high-performance and titanium-valved engines with Kwik-Way SVS and SVSII Deluxe refacers.
