What We Rebuild

Mechanical Rebuilds

Our master rebuilding staff rebuilds worn out machine tools back to OEM specifications and operating accuracy, from manual mills and lathes to CNC machining centers.

A full rebuild starts with complete disassembly and inspection. Hardened ways are ground, mating components are hand scraped for proper fit, and in many cases Turcite is applied to bring every axis back to its original alignment.

Spindles, ball screws and hydraulic cylinders are rebuilt in our Tullahoma shop, and our in-house machine shop gets your critical parts made quickly.

How We Work

Our Rebuild Process

Every rebuild follows the same four steps, from the first inspection to the final test run.

  1. Inspect And Diagnose

    We inspect the machine on site or in our shop to find what is worn and what it will take to restore it.

  2. Plan And Quote

    You get a transparent fixed quote before the teardown begins.

  3. Rebuild

    Skilled technicians handle complete disassembly, repairs and precision reassembly, and the work is documented.

  4. Test And Handover

    Full acceptance testing and operator coaching before your machine goes back into production.
