Industrial Machining & Precision Repair Services
Engineering Scale and Precision for the Texas Panhandle
When a massive industrial asset fails or wears out of tolerance, the logistics of transport can be paralyzing. Dismantling high-tonnage machinery, rigging it out of a facility, and shipping it to a traditional machine shop incurs exorbitant freight expenses and stretches operational downtime from days into weeks. Washington Iron Works eliminates this structural bottleneck by bringing elite industrial machinists and heavy portable machining equipment directly to your job site.
We are Here for You 24/7
Eradicating Logistical Friction and Costly Plant Downtime
In high-stakes industries like power generation, mining, petrochemical refining, marine transport, and heavy manufacturing, downtime isn’t just an inconvenience—it is a direct drain on profitability. When a critical asset experiences structural wear, mechanical breakdown, or out-of-round tolerances, your primary objective is to restore production safely and rapidly.

Our Specialized Onsite Machining Capabilities
Our field services division is staffed by veteran machinists who excel under tight deadlines and challenging industrial environments. Our portable equipment is engineered for maximum rigidity, ensuring flawless surface finishes and geometric accuracy in the field.
Reverse-Engineering & Obsolete Component Manufacturing
In many legacy industries, critical machinery relies on components that are no longer supported by the original manufacturer, or ordering an OEM replacement carries a lead time of several months. Our engineering team can reverse-engineer worn or broken parts directly from your physical samples or technical blueprints.
Our Process: We analyze the metallurgy, determine the original design tolerances, create precise digital schematics, and machine a heavy-duty, exact-match replacement part right on our shop floor to get your operations back online quickly.

Our mobile field machining division operates 24/7 as an emergency strike force for industrial mechanical infrastructure. Based out of our expansive Sherman, Texas headquarters, our self-contained mobile rigs deploy nationwide, fully equipped with heavy-duty, portable machine tools. Instead of adapting your asset to fit a stationary machine tool, our field technicians construct temporary rigid mounting fixtures directly onto your damaged components. This allows us to execute precise material removal, boring, and face milling right on your facility floor, structural foundations, or remote job sites.
By performing complex mechanical restoration in-place, we achieve exact original equipment manufacturer (OEM) tolerances while completely bypassing the costs, risks, and delays of heavy equipment transport.

Mobile Line Boring & Bore Repair
Over time, pivot points, heavy articulation joints, pin bores, and hinge housings on heavy equipment experience severe ovality and structural wear. Our mobile line boring systems can be mounted in any orientation to restore perfect axial alignment across single or multiple inline bores.
- Common Applications: Re-boring excavator arms, mining draglines, industrial press frames, gearbox housings, and steering linkages.
- Our Process: We weld the worn internal diameters back to a proud dimension and line-bore them back to original precision clearances
In-Place Crankpin & Shaft Machining
Scored, out-of-round, or damaged crankshaft journals can paralyze large stationary power engines, compressors, and marine diesels. Removing a crankshaft from the engine block requires a complete, multi-week structural teardown. Our specialized, portable orbital turning machines mount directly around the shaft journal, machining and polishing the crankpin while it remains inside the engine block.
- The Benefit: Restores perfect concentricity and microscopic surface finishes in a fraction of the time of a traditional overhaul.
Portable Flange Facing & Surface Milling
Leaking high-pressure pipe connections, distorted vessel faces, and un-level structural equipment foundations cause severe sealing and operational failures. Our portable flange facers and linear mills handle large-diameter resurfacing in-place.
- Common Applications: Machining heat exchanger faces, large pump bases, crane pedestals, and high-pressure mating flanges to guarantee a leak-free, perfectly flat seal.
Laser Alignment & Optical Inspection
Precision machining is only as accurate as the layout geometry. We utilize advanced industrial laser alignment and optical inspection tools to map out bores, shafts, and foundations before cutting metal, ensuring absolute geometric accuracy across massive spans.
