	Rebuild Services Wisely your company purchased an expensive, high quality, precision machining center from Boston Digital Corporation, once known in the industry as the "Cadillac of Machine Tools". Built on aged grey cast 50 iron with integral flame hardened ground ways, this machine design offered superior rigidity and dampening qualities with stable and precision geometry characteristics, engineered to last for a very long time. Many BostoMatic Milling Machines have been in service and producing for over 25 years, surely a wise investment for any company. Though years have taken its toll on control electronics, servo and spindle drive systems, the core BostoMatic machine provides an excellent base foundation for creating a new high quality precision machine that is capable of lasting another 25 years. With all the advantages of current state of the art technology rebuilt equipment is comparable with new machinery. As the premier re-manufacturer and retrofitter of BostoMatic equipment in the world, G&W is experienced at taking old and tired BostoMatic machinery and recycling them into useful and productive pieces of equipment. After rebuilding the base machine, we then retrofit the machine with all new servo motors, encoders, scales, electrical and electronics components, hydraulic and pneumatic systems and couple it all with a new G&W / MDSI - OpenCNC control package.
