Default Re: Valve seat cutter and proper pilot

This is my .375 B&D with extraction handle. I used this pilot without the handle on two valve jobs and it could be a pain wringing it back out. Last year when I bought my lathe in Seattle the guy had a bunch of 'outdated' automotve gear and asked if I wanted any of it. There was a Sioux seat grinder and a Sioux setup for counterboring the block for hard seats. In the seat grinder kit was this snap-lock handle for my B&D and of course it fit nothing in the Sioux kit. Just my lucky day.
