What is Line Boring

Is a specialist engineering process that restores the alignment and internal diameter of worn or damaged bores found in heavy equipment and industrial plant. When components such as pivot points, bearing housings, or pin bores become elongated or misaligned due to continuous use, line boring precisely machines them back to their original specification. This ensures smooth operation, proper load distribution, and long-lasting performance.

Why Line Boring Is Essential for Heavy Machinery

Construction, agricultural, quarrying, and industrial machinery are constantly exposed to extreme loads, vibration, and repetitive motion. Over time, this leads to excessive wear around critical structural joints. Without accurate repair, machinery becomes unsafe, inefficient, and prone to costly breakdowns. Line boring eliminates these issues by restoring bores to exact tolerances, helping prevent future wear, premature component failure, and expensive downtime.
