Machine shop

The part you need, made this morning.

A comprehensive machine shop with lathes, mills, grinding and broaching facilities. It's what lets us fix a breakdown with a part made in-house today instead of one freighted in next week.

Capability

Turned, milled, ground and broached

One-offs are the job here, not the exception. Bring us a worn shaft, a seized bush or a drawing, and it comes back machined to fit, not near enough.

  • Items up to 3m long machined in-house
  • Jobbing and repair work: one-offs are the job, not the exception
  • Small production runs: repeat parts, made consistently
  • Maintenance machining: shafts, bushes, bearing seats and more
  • Backed by the fabrication shop: welding, cutting and folding under the same roof

Why it matters

The difference between a bad night and a bad week

When a plant stops, the part is usually the problem: the freight time, not the fix. Because we machine in-house, a breakdown call on 027 433 3045 can end with a component turned, fitted and running the same day.

Planning ahead? Ring the workshop on (06) 357 1103 about spares, small runs or maintenance machining.
