Seems we’ve been bombarded with emergency repair work lately. We’re doing our very best to keep our local industries turning out products. We find ourselves working in steel mills, foundries, paper mills, box shops, printing plants and all other kinds of manufacturing operations. The components below are critical parts to a printing operation. The large 28” diameter sheave / flywheel was badly worn and needed re-machined for a brake clutch to grab the faces. Using every inch of swing, we could have barely slid a leaf in between the part and the lathe ways. The large tapered shaft needed creatively repaired for a rotary swivel. Lastly the large cast iron bearing/drive housing needed serious journal repairs. This was the most challenging, and we couldn’t have gotten it all done without the expert help from Fortitude Welding & Fabrication LLC to help us get the casting welded up. We used premium Ni-55 high nickel wire to build up the worn areas before setting up in the lathe to machine for new bearings. All of this we managed to turn around inside of 48 hours. When it comes to servicing our loyal customers, we don’t fool around. We understand the need for “hot rush” work when there is a whole department standing around waiting on repairs. We strive to be the best in the business, not the cheapest. Thanks to everyone for following along! -KPC.

We'll be closed Monday! We're open again Tuesday, May 26, 7am-5pm. We hope you all have a great holiday weekend! 🇺🇸
