CNC Boring Machine
Designed to take the guesswork out of axle tube boring, this portable and compact machine makes spindle installation faster, easier, and more reliable by preparing the axle tube for smooth spindle installation.
Key Features:
- Lightweight and easy to handle.
- Accurately bores axle tubes to match sleeve dimensions for a secure fit.
- Eliminates the need for welding, which saves time.
- Built-in safety system traps hot metal shavings, keeping the workspace clean and free from contaminants.
Go/No-Go Gauges:
A practical inspection tool that helps technicians accurately evaluate the spindle bearing surface and confirm whether it remains within safe tolerance or requires replacement before installation.
Key Features:
- Gives a clear pass or fail result in seconds with no measuring tools needed.
- Checks if a spindle’s bearing area is still safe or worn beyond limits.
- Sections for different bearing sizes let you test multiple spindles with one tool.
- The QR code printed on the gauge helps you choose the correct section based on your bearing number.

Introducing Our Weld‑Free Spindle Technology
Spindle replacement on your own rig or in your fleet is no easy feat.
You know the real challenge isn’t the cutting or measuring, it’s the welding. Waiting on a certified welder can delay the entire process.
That’s why we’re fired up to announce something new at MATS 2026: the Axle Spindle weld‑free spindle installation.
Our weld-free spindle system securely holds the new spindle in place with precision engineering, no welding required, for a clean, tight, and secure fit.
For independent truckers, owner-operators, and fleet managers, this means no waiting around and no need for extra help. Just a faster, safer, factory-quality install that gets your trucks back on the road in under 90 minutes.
Ready for a sneak peek? Visit us at the Axle Spindle booth #18164 at the MATS show and see our new weld-free spindle system in action.
