We work across the Giddings & Lewis lineup — Horizontal boring mills and VTC machines — spindle, control, ATC, drive, and alignment work.

What Brings Giddings & Lewis Machines In For Repair
Most Giddings & Lewis repair calls come in for way alignment, spindle issues, control problems, ATC faults, or drive system wear. We diagnose what's actually broken before we quote — sometimes what looks like a spindle problem is something cheaper to fix.
How We Approach Giddings & Lewis Repair Work
Giddings & Lewis control systems vary by model, so we start with diagnostics that match the platform in front of us rather than assuming what we'll find.
Lead Time & Process
Lead time on machine repair depends on what's wrong — diagnostic is fast, but parts and rebuild time vary by the job. Our three-step workflow keeps it transparent:
- Contact us. Call 319-610-4341 or use the quote form. Tell us the machine, the symptoms, and how urgent it is.
- Review & quote. We confirm the model, scope the work, and send back a price and realistic lead time within one business day on most inquiries.
- Approve & rebuild. We complete the repair, verify it back to spec, and return the machine ready to run.
Why Shops Trust Us
Experienced field technicians with hands-on time across the major CNC OEM platforms, in-house precision spindle balancing capability, laser alignment services, and established relationships with aftermarket bearing and spindle component suppliers.
"Honestly, we thought the machine was done for." It saves shops from replacement lead times and the capital expense of a replacement machine.
