In order to function as a mobile line boring service we require certain resources. Firstly we use the support of the agent that sold us the line boring and bore welding machines. These machines require maintenance and replacement parts after a certain period of use. There are also many different accessories available for different configurations and processes while line boring/bore welding.
We buy welding gas for the welding processes that are required and also buy consumables such as welding tips, welding wire, a wide range of abrasive discs, flap wheels, welding helmet parts, welding machine parts and numerous other consumables from several welding suppliers. We use numerous engineering suppliers to provide us with any tooling required for machining including cemented carbide tips, carbide inserts, insert holders cutting compounds, cutting coolant, measuring equipment and many other engineering requirements. We are supplied by a safety work wear shop with high visibility clothing, steel capped boots, hearing protection, eye protection and numerous other items of safety apparel.
We also require pins and bushes to be engineered to complete a job, so we utilise the services of an engineering firm locally. On occasions there are different Field machine tools required to do in-situ machining processes in fact there are too many to own. We hire field machine tools from hire companies to complete the work required. Some tools that are available are: Flange facing tools, Journal Turning Lathes, Clamshell tools, portable Mills, Bevelling tools.
