I used Neeway cutters and they worked nicely.

You may want to purchase new valves or find someone with a centerless valve grinder to recondition your old valves. Even if you purchase new it may be advised to have the stem faced a smig to offset material removed from the seats.
To go with the cutters you need an arbor and handle to turn the cutter. Technique is critical when turning to make sure you don't put side load on the cutter.
Good fun!
