Precision Where It Matters Most: Line Boring Services at McCannics, Gisborne

When your heavy machinery starts showing signs of wear—loose pins, misaligned bores, or worn-out pivot points—it’s time to talk to the specialists. At McCannics, located at 59 Awapuni Road, Gisborne, we offer precision line boring services to get your equipment operating like new again.

What Is Line Boring?

Line boring, also known as align boring, is a specialist machining process used to repair or restore worn bores in heavy equipment and industrial machinery. Over time, machinery parts such as pivot points, hinge pins, and bushings can wear out or become misaligned due to constant use. Line boring is the process of accurately machining these bores back to their correct specifications, ensuring perfect alignment and smooth operation.

It’s an essential service that helps you avoid the cost and downtime of full component replacements, extending the life of your machines and getting them back to work quickly and safely.

 

Our Line Boring Capabilities

At McCannics, we provide both on-site and in-house line boring services to suit the needs of your operation. Whether it’s a minor repair or a major rebuild, our mobile and workshop-based equipment can handle it. We service bore diameters ranging from 40mm to 400mm, and we also offer internal diameter welding (ID welding) for oversized or severely worn bores.

 

We pride ourselves on precision and reliability—every job is measured twice and machined once, with quality control at every step.
