I am looking to get into machine work for cylinder heads, i know what tools i need for cutting guides, spring seats, i can gasket match ports, i can do basic pocket work, i have been looking for information on how to perform a 3-angle valve job, and how to enlarge the seats for bigger valves, i have seen neway valve cutters, and am interested, they just seem to come in odd sizes, which cutters would i need to work on 1.84-2.02" intake valves, and 1.5-1.6" exhaust valves? i dont know exactly which cutters to get, i know the angles im going to experiment with too. Can these cutters be used to enlarge the seats for larger diameter valves?
Thank You
 
A variety of stones is all you'll need along, of course, with the various guide pins and valve seat grinder and a stone dressing rig.
As far as enlarging the seats, I leave that to a machine shop when I have hardened seats installed.
