Description
The model S85A / S86A surfacing machine is a precision, high speed surfacing unit.
The model S85A / S86A can be equipped with tooling and accessories for surfacing most American
passenger car and truck, inline, 90 and 60 degree V-type blocks as well as cylinder heads.
S85A / S86A machines may be readily tooled to resurface a wide variety of engines, including European
and Asian models, as well as perform various other surfacing operations.
This machine is designed for two purposes:
1. The alignment of the deck surface to the pan rails and main bearing locations, as have been done in
the original factory surfacing.
2. A considerable savings in surfacing time and operator involvement as a result of fast block clamping,
and convenient controls.
Change over or resetting time required to set up V-type or in-line engines is a minimum, making this
machine highly suited to the jobber shop where engines cannot be run through, in model lots.
All feeds and rapid travels are power operated and controlled from the conveniently located control panel.
Power required is 230 volt, single phase. This provides power to the variable speed AC motor controller,
the horizontal S.C.R. drive, and various relays and solenoid valves that actuate mechanical controls on
the machine to engage feeds and travels.
