32 mm 15° InH 9 Valve Seat Cutters

32 mm 15° Valve Seat Cutter – InH9 Internal Pilot Bore

Professional valve seat cutter with a 32 mm cutting head and 15° cutting angle, designed for machining the upper relief angle of engine valve seats. The cutter features a precision InH9 internal pilot bore for interchangeable pilots with a Ø9 mm shank, providing accurate alignment with the valve guide.

Application:

Designed for precision valve seat machining during cylinder head rebuilding. The 15° cutter forms the upper relief angle above the valve seat, improving airflow while allowing accurate control of the final seat width and position.

What it actually does:

Removes material only from the upper area of the valve seat. It does not machine the sealing surface itself but creates the top relief angle required for proper multi-angle valve seat geometry.

Head diameter (32 mm):

• 38 mm maximum cutting diameter
• Suitable for medium and large valve seats
• Large cutting head improves rigidity
• Produces smooth and stable cutting action

Cutting angle (15°):

• Machines the upper relief angle
• Improves gas flow around the valve
• Helps position the seating surface correctly
• Used together with 45° and 60° cutters

Internal pilot bore (InH9):

The cutter incorporates a precision H9 internal bore designed for interchangeable pilots with a Ø9 mm shank. The pilot fits inside the cutter and locates in the valve guide, keeping the cutter accurately centered during machining. This minimizes runout and ensures excellent concentricity between the valve guide and the valve seat.

In practice:

This cutter is normally used as part of a three-angle valve seat machining process. A typical sequence is 15° top angle, 45° seating angle and 60° (or 75°) throat angle, depending on the engine manufacturer's specifications.
