Machine Rebuilding & Scraping Services
Stan Canada provides professional machine rebuilding and precision hand scraping services designed to restore worn industrial equipment back to OEM-level accuracy. We rebuild manual and CNC lathes, vertical mills, machining centers, boring mills, grinders, and other production machinery that has lost alignment, rigidity, or geometric accuracy due to wear, age, or heavy use.
Our team specializes in correcting machine geometry, renewing bearing surfaces, and restoring smooth, precise travel. Through a combination of hand scraping, alignment correction, way rebuilding, and full mechanical overhaul, we extend machine life, improve surface finish, eliminate taper, and bring worn equipment back into productive, reliable operation.
Why Rebuild Instead of Replace?
Rebuilding is a practical and cost-effective solution when:
– the machine has a strong, rigid casting
– replacement cost is significantly higher
– downtime must be minimized
– accuracy must meet or exceed factory standards
– the machine is no longer manufactured
– the customer wants OEM performance without OEM pricing
In many cases, a properly rebuilt and scraped machine performs better than a brand-new mid-range import.
Over time, the bed of a lathe develops wear, low spots, and uneven contact points that affect how the carriage moves along the machine. This leads to loss of accuracy, taper issues, inconsistent cuts, and overall instability during machining. Our rebuilding process corrects these problems by restoring the bed surfaces and re-establishing proper alignment and contact. Once rebuilt and hand-fitted, the machine operates smoothly, holds geometry, and delivers accurate, repeatable results across the full working length.
Who Benefits From Rebuilding?
Rebuilding and scraping services deliver the greatest value to operations that rely on consistent accuracy and long-term machine performance. This includes:
– Machine shops that need reliable precision for daily production
– Fabrication plants running heavy, high-duty cycles
– Repair shops restoring older or heavily worn equipment
– CNC job shops requiring tight tolerances and repeatability
– Manufacturing facilities looking to extend machine life without the cost of replacement
Rebuilding restores accuracy, stability, and performance—often exceeding what mid-range new machines can deliver. For many businesses, it is the most cost-effective way to bring equipment back to OEM-level quality while minimizing downtime and investment.
