Worn Bore? Bring It Back to Size and Alignment.
Machine Tech Services performs precision line boring and bore repair for heavy equipment, industrial machinery, marine gear, agricultural equipment and custom assemblies from our Broussard machine shop serving Lafayette and Acadiana.
Line boring restores worn or damaged bores while keeping multiple bores on one true axis. It is especially useful when pin bores, pivot points, bearing bores or aligned housings have worn oval, oversized or out of alignment but the larger component is still worth saving.
Typical work includes excavator and backhoe buckets, booms and sticks; loader and dozer linkages; crane and lift components; pivot and hinge points; bearing housings; equipment frames; marine assemblies; agricultural equipment; and industrial machinery. We also machine replacement pins, bushings and sleeves when the repair calls for them.
Repair strategy depends on the actual damage. A job may call for boring back to true geometry, machining for a sleeve or bushing, rebuilding material before final sizing, or making the mating pin and bushing set to match. We measure first and quote the repair path that fits the component.
Machine Tech is a shop-based machining operation in Broussard, not an advertised mobile field line-boring contractor. Send photos, bore dimensions and the equipment or component details before transport so we can confirm size, handling and the right repair approach.
