From giving a large diameter heavy wall pipe a compound 37-10 bevel with a 1/8th inch land, to line boring a 80 Ton Dipper Bucket to accept bushings for pivot pins. The applications requiring field machining are wide spread.
Equipment Selection is critical to ensure a timely and high quality finish.
