Kwikway Multpurpose Machine/ Valve grinder

Post by kevinf » Sat Sep 14, 2024 8:47 pm

I accidentally posted this to the OT forum, hopefully it can go here as well.

Looking for any information this Kwikway Multipurpose Machine. It will grind valves but looks like it can also be setup to undercut armitures and who knows what else.
Not exactly Model T, however it will be used to grind Model T valves.
Any help greatly appreciated, Thanks in advance,
Kevin

I have one as well. Valve grinder, cylindrical grinder, Tool grinder. I think these were the precursor to the line of Kwik Way valve grinders that use three balls in the chuck that holds the valve stem. Kwik Way used the same basic design for their piston grinder and a small cylindrical grinder in later years.

I can't say I have one, but I worked for a year in a machine shop that did. It was cleaned up and on display in the entry way to the office.
