Precision Surface & Slideway Grinding
Precision Surface & Slideway Grinding with Favretto TU500
Restore Geometry. Improve Finish. Extend Machine Life.
At Precision Service Machine Tool Rebuilders, precision surface and slideway grinding is a key part of how we return worn machine tools to like-new performance. With our large-capacity Favretto TU500 way grinder, we restore critical sliding and locating surfaces so your machines cut straight, hold tolerance, and produce consistent finishes—often extending the life of equipment you already trust. Our precision grinding services play an important role in machine tool rebuilding and long-term machine tool accuracy restoration.
From our facility in Addison, Illinois, we support manufacturers across North America with stand-alone grinding projects or as part of complete machine rebuilds. We also offer on-site machine tool repair services when evaluating machine geometry, wear, and surface condition at your facility is the most efficient solution.
Our expertise extends to grinding machine rebuilding, helping manufacturers restore worn grinding equipment without the expense of replacement. Every project is supported by proven industrial machine scraping and alignment practices to ensure proper geometry, accurate way contact, and reliable machine performance after grinding.
