CAI Machine & Repair · Service by appointment
Welding, Machining & Fabrication in Wheaton & DuPage County
A damaged bracket, worn fit or hard-to-find part does not always mean replacing an entire assembly. CAI Machine & Repair offers manual machining, welding and small fabrication projects for equipment repairs in Wheaton and DuPage County, with each job reviewed and quoted to its scope.
Manual machining for practical repair parts
Send photos, dimensions and a description of how the part is used. An existing part or drawing helps establish the material, fit and machining required. Final suitability and the work involved need review before a part can be quoted.
- One-off repair parts, bushings and spacers
- Shaft work and precision fitting
- Drilling and tapping
- Damaged-thread repair
- Broken-fastener extraction
Welding and small fabrication projects
CAI’s capabilities include MIG, TIG and stick welding for brackets, equipment repairs, modifications and small fabrication work. Include the material if known, approximate dimensions, photos of the full assembly and close-ups of the damaged area. Process and repair approach depend on the material, condition and intended use.
Quote the actual job, including the fit
Machining, welding and fabrication are quoted separately from general mobile repair labor. Mention tolerances, mating parts, loading and finish requirements when relevant. Where the part performs a safety-critical function, identify that use at the outset so suitability can be assessed. Arrange any handoff by appointment; CAI has no walk-in storefront.
