Here are some examples of the work we have completed for customers.

Pulley bore ground out to clean up, pulley diameter on shaft has been ground and chromed, then ground to give correct fit.

Spline on shaft had been very badly worn. To repair shaft a complete sleeve has been fitted to rear and then been machined back to its original condition.

Drive Dog Repairs

Here are some examples of the work we have completed for customers.

The spindle has had its drive dogs smashed off, it has been re-engineered and new drive dogs to specification have been produced.

     

When drive dogs have been worn they can be hard face welded to 62 Rockwell and re-machined.

     

Worn drive dogs have been welded and ceramic bush replaced.

     

We are fortunate to have our own in-house welding facility within the factory.
