Hi

Can any one tell me where is possible to get hold of a valve seat cutter at reasonably low cost price.

thanks

i looked into this about 6 months ago
i couldnt find one and the ones the trade used were very exspensive profesanal types i have given up and will be taking it to newark engines to sort out
sorry its not much help but i ran into a brick wall with this and it seemed best left to somone setup to do it
cheers dave

Dave Vizard showed how to make valve saet cutters in an early book on tuning the Ford x/flow. The method involved grinding a radius on a drill bit end to make the cutter and using it to cut curved valve seats (even better than multi angle jobs?) The book must have been published in the early 70's, about the time he was writing for CCC.

If you look at the specification for the valve seat, it's probably better/easier to leave it to a machine shop - mind you, there's no guarantee that they'll do it according to spec either!

You would be better and cheaper to get it done with a professional unit, youre only likely to use it once so its not realy worth the outlay
