Sorry I haven't been on here a lot.
I have a complete kit to turn your mill into a seat and guide machine. Most efficient one out there and very friendly. Fast and simple to go from milling to head work or resurfacing etc

Contact me at 518-915-3205 or rbjracing1@gmail.com

They suck to get a real nice valve job with. Too many tiny pieces to use and just about all they are good for is doing a half assed job.
Any one that tries to do custom head work that uses that system is just wasting their time and money when there
is better tooling available.

Sorry for the rant but I was one of those that wasted time and money many years ago when the new way stuff 1st came out
and while I did get the complete set up I may have used it 5-6 times and was not happy with the results at all and sold it all at a loss and got a new machine and related tooling to get the jobs done right.

that was my thoughts , but mixed up the names and was scratching my head trying to figure out why this would be recommended , as i used this system 20yrs ago in training , and that's why i asked here as i dont have the funds to waste the money would be better spent else where .

Cheers
