Machine Shop

Precision Machining for Critical Equipment

MTI’s in-house machine shop supports electro-mechanical repairs with the machining, fitting, and fabrication work needed to restore equipment the right way—without waiting on outside vendors.

Tight tolerances, proper fits, and repeatable QC
Supports planned work and urgent downtime events

Machining That Keeps Repairs Moving

When a repair depends on precision fits, shaft work, housings, or fabricated components, having machining in-house reduces lead time and improves quality control. MTI’s machine shop is built to support rotating equipment reliability—not just “make a part.”

In-House

Faster Turnaround

Machining, fitting, and repair work stay under one roof to keep schedules tighter and downtime shorter.

Precision

Fits & Tolerances

We machine and verify critical dimensions that impact bearings, seals, alignment, and long-term performance.

Repair-Driven

Built for Reliability

Machining decisions are guided by how equipment actually runs—load, vibration, and operating environment.

Capabilities

Complete Support for Rotating Equipment Repairs

The machine shop exists to solve the real problems found during teardown: worn fits, damaged shafts, out-of-round housings, distorted components, and missing or obsolete parts.

Common machining support includes:

  • Shaft repair, journals, and bearing/seal surface restoration
  • Keyways, coupling fits, and critical dimensional corrections
  • Housing and end bell machining to restore proper alignment and fits
  • Fabrication support for brackets, guards, bases, and mounts
  • Component salvage strategies when replacement lead times are unacceptable

If you’re facing a repeat failure, we can also recommend next steps to address root cause drivers that machining alone won’t fix.

Machining Services

Practical Machining Support for Industrial Equipment

MTI provides machining services as part of a complete repair workflow—focused on restoring proper geometry, fits, and function for motors, pumps, gear reducers, and related rotating equipment.

Turning & Shaft Work

Restore journals, bearing fits, seal surfaces, and concentricity to support long service life.

Milling & Keyways

Machine keyways, mounting surfaces, and features needed for couplings, bases, and drive components.

Surface Restoration

Address wear patterns and damaged surfaces that impact alignment, seals, and mechanical stability.

Fit Corrections

Correct critical fits and dimensional issues that contribute to repeat bearing and seal failures.

Fabrication Support

Build and modify brackets, guards, bases, and mounts that support safe, repeatable installation.

Obsolete / Hard-to-Source Parts

When lead times threaten production, we help identify practical salvage and replacement strategies.

Quality & Verification

Machining That’s Measured, Verified, and Documented

Precision isn’t just how a part looks—it’s how it fits, runs, and holds up over time. Our team verifies critical dimensions that impact alignment, load distribution, and component life.

Critical Fits

Bearing and seal fits, coupling locations, and shaft/housing geometry verified before reassembly.

Runout & Concentricity

Checks performed to reduce vibration risk and protect bearings and seals from premature wear.

Repair-Integrated QC

Machining is tied directly to the repair plan—so the finished result supports the full assembly, not a single dimension.

When machining matters most

  • Repeat bearing failures or heat-related issues
  • Loose fits, fretting, or damaged bearing journals
  • Seal leakage and worn seal surfaces
  • Alignment problems caused by worn housings or distorted components
  • Coupling fit issues and keyway damage

If you’re unsure whether the issue is “machining” or “system,” we can help determine the best next step.

Integrated Support

One Team Across Repair, Machining, and Reliability

Machine shop work is most effective when it’s paired with the teardown findings, repair standards, and operating context. That’s why MTI keeps machining integrated with the departments that rebuild and return equipment to service.

Repair-Driven Decisions

We machine to the requirement of the assembly and application—not a generic “make it round” approach.

Field Insight When Needed

When root cause isn’t in the shop, we can support alignment, installation, and on-site troubleshooting.

Reduce Repeat Failures

Pair machining corrections with condition monitoring and vibration data to prevent the same issue from coming back.
