Ask a local machine, or tool and die shop. They should be able to tell you where they get theirs.

I use valve grinding compound from the auto parts store.

I get mine from Lee Valley, unless I have a large order with other items, in which case I have bought from McMaster Carr.

any auto part’s store.
If you want a finer grit check out any mill supply Brownells has some.

i do need to find a shop capable of cast iron welding, so while Im there….
Thanks for the advice guys.

lee valley seems to be the most reasonably priced online. Unfortunatly Ive tried the local auto parts places, all i got were funny looks. Ill try phrasing it “valve grinding compound” tomorrow.

WAL-MART and/or ACE … pumice .. rottenstone .. toothpaste .. car polishing compound .. COMET cleanser .. etc

Anything with grit can be used, depending on how fine/coarse you need and how long it will last.
