In situ line boring
In situ line boring, also called line boring, in situ boring, shaft boring.
Worn bores for bearings, pins and bushes etc can be machined and refurbished at your site or in our works to the original manufactured size by bushing or weld cladding (see bore welding below). Our fully portable line boring machines can accomodate bores from 30mm to 700mm in diamater and can be set up ready to machine in an hour. Perfect alignment can be achieved by the adjustable bearing blocks and H7 tolerances are easily met. The fully portable machine can machine cast iron, carbon steel, stainless steel and bronzes/white metal. The advantages of in situ machining are that there is reduced equipment down time, less removal time and zero transport costs. We can also offer an on site pressing service to install new bearings, pins and bushes if needed.
