Rebuilding Services

Don't Replace Your Mill. Rebuild It.

A good knee mill is worth saving. We rebuild milling machine heads and components to like-new condition — using the same quality parts we sell — for a fraction of the cost of a new machine.

Why rebuild

Rebuilt Right Beats Bought New

A Bridgeport-style mill is a machine designed to be serviced, not scrapped. When the head gets noisy, the quill sticks, or the finish goes south, a proper rebuild brings it back.

A Fraction of the Cost

A rebuild typically costs far less than a comparable new or used machine — and you keep the mill your shop already knows, on the footprint it already occupies.

Done With the Right Parts

We're the milling machine parts people. Your rebuild uses the same quality components we stock and sell every day — no mystery parts, no shortcuts.

Backed by 55+ Years

Since 1969, we've supported the machines American shops actually run. Our technicians have seen what wears, what fails, and what fixes it for good.

What we rebuild

Heads, Components & More

Our core service is rebuilding milling machine heads for Bridgeport-type knee mills and comparable imports. If it's worn, noisy, or out of spec, chances are we've rebuilt one just like it.

Not sure whether your machine is a candidate? Call 1-877-DRAWBAR (372-9227) and describe the symptoms — we'll give you a straight answer on whether a rebuild makes sense.

How it works

Four Steps, Start to Finish

Simple, transparent, and quoted before the work begins.

01

Send It In

Ship your milling machine head or component to our Eastlake, Ohio facility. Call ahead and we'll walk you through packing and shipping it safely.

02

Teardown & Inspection

We disassemble and inspect every wear point, then quote the full job. Nothing gets replaced until you've approved the work.

03

Rebuild & Test

Worn parts are replaced with the same quality components we sell. Everything is reassembled, adjusted, and checked before it leaves the bench.

04

Back to Work

Your rebuilt unit ships back ready to install — running tight, quiet, and true.

Common questions

Rebuild FAQ

The questions we hear most on the phone.

Is my machine worth rebuilding?

Usually, yes. Bridgeport-type mills were built to be serviced, and the iron rarely wears out — it's the rotating and sliding components that do. Call us with the symptoms and we'll tell you honestly whether a rebuild makes sense.

How long does a rebuild take?

Turnaround depends on the condition of the unit and parts required. Contact us for current lead times before you ship.

What will it cost?

Every job is quoted after teardown and inspection, so you approve the price before any work happens. You'll never get a surprise invoice.

Can I just buy the parts and do it myself?

Absolutely — we stock the replacement parts either way. If you'd rather turn the wrenches yourself, we'll help you identify exactly what you need.
