SGH 12 HD

Description

The Robins SGH 12 HD is a heavy-duty seat and guide machine built for machining everything from small motorcycle heads to the largest multi-valve diesel heads in one setup.

A full-rotation roll fixture allows complete access for seat cutting, drilling, tapping, injector tube work, and thread repair.

The SGH 12 HD provides the repeatability, rigidity, and precision required for performance racing, diesel rebuilders, and heavy-duty engine shops.

The machine uses a fixed-pilot system paired with Robins’ precision Guide Honing kit, ensuring perfect guide geometry before seat cutting for maximum concentricity. Designed for demanding environments, the SGH 12 HD maintains stable accuracy and consistent valve-seat quality across all cylinder head types.
