Engineering machining and cast steel(?) welding in Christchurch - who to use please?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Folks, I've had a pretty major setback this week and need to get a tractor stub axle tube, a cast hub and an annulus repaired and reassembled with new bearings and seals.

Christchurch is a reasonable option as the parts agent is in CHCH for the bearings and seals (and may be able to do the job too, but I haven't heard back from them yet). I don't need any teeth or splines cut, but I figure I'll need at least three components built up with weld and then lathed. The cast hub repair might be tricky.

I'd need the machinist to collect the broken bits from a freight depot near CHCH airport. Total package weight around 30kgs I guess

Any recommendations?

Try Robin Gibbens Engineering. In house TIG, turning and general machining. Known him for years, does a lot of fabrication and machining for the local speedway boys.  Just google the name for contact details.

Mpw are highly regarded, there’s another guy a stones throw from there (malcolm) maclean metal spray who does the same sort of work who would be the more cost effective option for weld/spray/machine/assemble stuff
