I still remember the hold down device, with the '3' thrumb screws,,,,,,
it loosened up on me a few times,,,,,,,.

Kwik-Way,,,,made very good valve grinding equipment too,,,,,

Yes we did buy from Lacey Williams.....

We did buy a VJ machine form Charlie Cockey......The guy was relentless and hammered us to buy the machine.....

I did a lot of heads with it.....Neway.....damn thing worked great and when I did heads for Ralph at T/K's he loved it....Chrome seats he called them.....

I used a stone for a top cut as the Neway carbide cutter blades were not radiused and left a sharp edge....

I bought out a guys small machine shop from Pa. after I left Crows.....

I still have some of the stuff including all the KwikWay seat grinding equipment......

I did a lot of engine and heads at home for many years....
