An original Honda 750 workshop manual shows simple multi bladed valve seat cutters in the 3 different angles for hand cutting use.

Nice kit there Ash.

Shows they can be cut without grind operation. 

Lovely piece of history too  :)

A guy I know with loads of Alf Brigg's CR parts (Mr. Honda gave Alf the UK CR parts stock   when they stopped racing in late 1967) called me up during lockdown and said he had  found a 750 dealer tool kit and did I want 1st dibs  to buy it ..   I'm thinking .. yes but its gonna be expensive ....  his price to me £110 !! :)
