360 Machine Shop helps evaluate, repair, modify, or recreate parts when replacements are unavailable, too expensive, or too slow to arrive. We can work from prints, samples, photos, sketches, or key dimensions to help get equipment, projects, or production moving again.

When Repair & Replacement Machining Makes Sense

This service is a good fit when:
- A part is broken, worn, or damaged
- The OEM part is obsolete or unavailable
- Lead time is too long
- A component needs modified to fit or function better
- A replacement part needs duplicated from a sample
- No drawing or CAD file is available

What We Can Help With

Repair and replacement work may include:
- Shafts, pins, bushings, and spacers
- Brackets, plates, blocks, and mounts
- Worn or damaged machine components
- Modified production parts
- Obsolete replacement parts
- Thread repair or feature modification
- Rework of existing components
- Reverse-engineered parts from samples

Starting With What You Have

Not every repair job starts with a complete print. We can often begin by reviewing the part, photos, sketches, or a few critical dimensions.

Helpful starting information includes:
- Existing part sample
- Photos of the part or machine
- Broken or worn component
- Rough sketch
- Key dimensions
- Material information, if known
- Description of how the part is used
- Quantity needed

Practical Review Before Machining

Repair and replacement work often requires judgment. We can help review fit, wear surfaces, material choice, critical dimensions, and possible improvements before making the part.

Depending on the job, we may look at:
- How the part failed or wore
- Which features are critical
- What surfaces locate or mate with other parts
- Whether material or design changes may help
- Whether a repair, modification, or full replacement makes the most sense
