Why Machine Tool Service Matters
When a key machine goes down, productivity stops. Proper service prevents costly downtime, extends machine lifespan, and protects operator safety. Even the smallest misalignment, worn bearing, or electrical fault can cause quality issues, scrap, or accidents.
Professional maintenance and repair help you:
- Detect early wear before failure
- Maintain consistent tolerances
- Restore spindle and table alignment
- Ensure hydraulic, pneumatic, and electrical systems perform to spec
- Meet safety and compliance standards
C & C Machine Tool Inc. understands that each minute counts. That’s why our repair process emphasizes quick diagnostics, clear communication, and lasting results.

Lathe repairs
From worn bearings to gear failures, our lathe repair services cover headstocks, tailstocks, gearboxes, threading systems, and electrical controls. We handle alignment, feed repairs, and lubrication system restorations to ensure your lathe holds accuracy and finish.
Milling Machine Repair
Our manual milling machine repairs include complete head rebuilds, spindle replacements, power feed troubleshooting, and knee or saddle adjustments. We realign ways, correct tramming errors, and upgrade systems such as DROs or variable-speed heads for improved performance.
