Gilman’s Full-Service Spindle Repair in 4 Easy Steps

We know that when your machine fails, it creates downtime you can’t afford. From diagnosing the problem and ordering a replacement spindle to the reinstallation process, it can cost you in more ways than one.

Thankfully, by partnering with Machine Tool Diagnostics (MTD), Gilman now offers full-service spindle repair services to the Midwest! From initial inspection to reinstallation, learn how Gilman handles the entire process step-by-step for you in order to minimize your machine’s downtime.

Step #1: On-Site Troubleshooting

When your machine begins to malfunction, give us a call at 800-445-6267 or email sales@gilmanprecision.com. Then, a factory-trained MTD technician will come to your facility and perform on-site troubleshooting and inspection of your machine’s spindle.

Step #2: Spindle Removal

The technician will remove the faulty spindle and send it to a Gilman Precision technician, who will then perform our industry-leading expert repair process.

Note: On-site involvement is not required if you are capable of troubleshooting and spindle removal yourself.

Step #3: Expert Repair

Your spindle then undergoes Gilman’s unparalleled spindle repair process – which includes a thorough examination, testing, and root-cause analysis – leaving your spindle in good-as-new condition.

Step #4: Reinstallation and Testing

A trusted MTD technician will return to reinstall your repaired spindle in your machine, and then administer thorough testing to ensure you have everything you need to get back up and running again!
