Hi guys. A bit of a stressful week for us at Grace after an accident with one of the machines, hopefully it will be sorted out very soon though. These things happen, moving heavy machinery is never easy.
Thanks for watching

Fair play to the guys at Amtec, it's always a huge boost to dented morale when another company is keen to assist, especially if they know you're in a hole. All these hurdles are sent to try us! You'll overcome mate & it's almost guaranteed you'll be in a better place as a result. Great video regardless of your misfortune.

Great to see progress moving into the new shop, but a shame it has come at a cost. On the machine, stick with what you know unless the newer brand has something exceptional to make you want to change, or unless Comec have not supported you…

Yes I'm pleased that the move is happening but it's really hard at the moment working out of 2 workshops, I'm definitely sticking with comec just need to get in the workshop properly first

I feel your pain (only a bit) but the machine you have is not a hopeless case. Maybe get the backlog of heads done and spend a weekend getting that gear alignment right. Maybe in the meantime get the original motor rebuilt. You could examine the original motor yourself they are not complicated. Probably something like a tag has come detached off a winding. I know you have a lot on your plate with the move, it's never fun. Maybe not the best time to give your highly polished credit card too much exercise.

We kept the old motor so I'll send it away when I get five.. yes we need to find a bit of time to sort the alignment out probably this weekend.. we are going to buy a new machine once the workshop is done.

Bad luck with the motor glad your lads sorted it out for you.Just one thing I would not run it too long without the cooling fan cover fitted new motors soon get to hot due to casings being very thin not a good heat sink.

Hello I am from the USA, nice video. Your crankshaft grinder is very different from what I am use to. Very interesting, nice job. Thanks for sharing. I have a Comec ACF200 and absolutely love it. I will subscribe to your channel. Take care, Ed.

@@graceenginedevelopments I had a Berco RTM270A sold it. I have a friend grinds my crankshafts he has Winona Van Norman CG250 and CG280 grinders. I have purchased a Storm Vulcan 15C that I am refurbishing now will finish in the spring. I use to be able to grind a small block Chevy mains and rods .010 floor to floor in about 45 to 50 minutes. Nice grind and equal stroke. Indexes take alot longer. Take care, Ed.

Oh mate what a pain :-(( Unfortunately shit happens from time to time even if we try our best 🤷 I don’t know anything about that type of equipment but if it was my decision to make i would go for the brand you was using for all those years as it proved its reliable.Last thing you want now is going for something else and then saying to yourself self fxxk ,I should stick to the old brand. Good luck with the decisions and all the workshop move .💪🏻
