| December 6th, 2012 |
| |
| We begin rebuilding our line of 30, 20 year old Davenports, using talent in-house. |
| |
| |
Davenport fresh from the shop floor.
This machine is 20 years old and still in
good enough shape for a much needed rebuild. |
| |
|
| |
The machine stripped down to it's base.
It will receive new bearings and sleeves
in the next two weeks. |
| |
|
| |
After a good steam cleaning and a fresh coat of paint,
this machine is starting to look almost new. |
| |
|
| |
A few more parts and this machine is ready to go back to the shop floor. Many of the replacement part were
produced in-house by our maintenance team. |

February 7th, 2013.
This machine is fitted with an in process controller built in-house that checks inside/outside diameters of parts produced and rejects them if they exceed tolerances. The controller also sends this data across our network to be analyzed by our SPC system. |
