Today’s shenanigans…thanks to Scott Conger and others who suggested the New Way Cutters!…. This old boy has lapped his last valve.
And the really good news is that the cutters I bought will work on my 1939 to 1952 Ford tractors that I’m constantly rebuilding and restoring!
Even if you take your time, it’s not going to take you more than five minutes per seat!….. just be gentle, though, as they cut very very fast!
Cheers and happy Saturday to y’all!

Re: Valve job continues
Ed I agree the new way cutters do a great job. You might want to do just a light quick lap then inspect the valve to verify correct amount of contact with the seat.

Good for you
is that a vacuum attachment? If so, that's an idea I may steal!

Re: Valve job continues
This looks very simple and efficient. I would like more details.
1. Is it driven by a drill, or by hand, or by other means.
2. Àre the inserts available for different angles.
3. Purchase price and source. Do the model t parts vendors carry them.

What are the clothes pins there for?
Everything works in theory.

Re: Valve job continues
The clothes pins were used to hold my lifters in the upward most position for when I removed the cam shaft

Re: Valve job continues
Hey Art!
https://www.newaymfg.com/
An absolute game changer….. no power tools….just a T wrench that I purchased with the cutters!
The cutter you see in the picture is a combination 30/45° cutter…. I purchased it and an additional 60°cutter.
I also bought two valve guides, one at 5/16+ 1 and the other at 5/16+2, as my original .312 valve guides had worn to 313, and .314 respectively.
I cut my 45° first, followed by the 30° after just flipping the cutter and then wrapped up with the 60°cutter.
So easy a caveman could do it so to speak as they say!….. the perfect, three face valve seat!
Just do a search on YouTube on new way cutters and scores of tutorial videos come up on this very simple and straightforward process.
I paid $285 for two valve guides, the two cutters, the T handle, and the case.
They weren’t cheap to be sure, but they will pay for themselves over and over again with the valve jobs that I do…. Most of all, I did it on site without having to remove the engine and take it to a shop…… I hope that helps, call if you have any questions. My telephone number is 585-808-3311.
Cheers!

Re: Valve job continues
Scott Conger….. yes, that’s a vacuum attachment that I devised…. The majority of it came from a Rigid brand attachments and adapters kit I bought at Home Depot years ago…..the last piece of the puzzle was a short length of three-quarter inch gray electrical conduit….I had to slightly ease the outside diameter for it to fit perfectly into the black portion….works like a champ!

Re: Valve job continues
Those of you who have these cutters, what are your thoughts on using Neway 46 degree cutter with 45 degree valve faces? I am considering going that route.

that is a good way...it's the way I cut them and it requires no lapping - the car will run in and form a perfect seal in just a few seconds
I suspect that Edwin may actually have bought a 46 cutter, but in any event, either will work
