Built for Long, Heavy Work
Our primary strength is machining and repairing long components, including:
- Long shafts and drive shafts
- Blast-hole drill pipe
- Industrial rollers
- Bearing journals
- Large sleeves and bushings
- Weldments and fabricated components
- Heavy equipment parts
- Components that are difficult or uneconomical to replace
The two large steady rests help support long workpieces during turning, weld preparation, and repair machining. The 3-ton crane allows us to load and position heavy components in the lathe.
Industrial Weld Repair and Machining
We repair long and large-diameter components by combining welding and manual lathe machining in one process.
Typical repair work includes:
- Removing cracked or failed welds
- Opening up damaged weld areas
- Preheating before welding
- Rebuilding worn or damaged surfaces
- Stress relieving after welding
- Machining repaired surfaces back to specification
- Restoring worn bearing journals and shaft fits
- Preparing repaired components to return to service
This process is well suited for drill pipe, shafts, rollers, and other industrial parts where replacement would be costly or cause extended downtime.
