WHAT IS LINE BORING?

Line boring is a realignment of two parallel holes along the same line that haven become offset, or sometimes egg-shaped, due to wear and tear over time. Original bores commonly become worn or damaged after years of operation, even if the machine is kept in working order. Like a tune-up on any machine, parts must be repaired or replaced after long periods of use. If bores in equipment parts are not aligned, it can introduce misalignment, vibration, and often cause an even costlier malfunction and repair of your equipment. Bore welding replaces the metal that has worn away and line boring machines it back to the original factory specifications, so it operates like new again. This can be done on a variety of heavy equipment from bobcats to rock crushers to steamboats.

WHAT CAN YOU LINE BORE?

The answer is anything! If you’ve got construction, mining, earth-moving, agricultural equipment or attachments, chances it can be bored. Often boring is more cost-effective than replacing parts or entire machines. With our shop and mobile line boring systems we can support boring diameters from 1” to 24”.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?

A line boring job often depends on the complexity of the machine, the number of bores, and how damaged or worn a bore may be. In most cases, simple repairs can be completed onsite in a few hours and we can get you back up and running again by the end of the day.
