NU Head repair services

Boring Bar Head Replacement Near Minneapolis St Paul

Twin Cities manufacturers operate under high expectations—medical precision, aerospace reliability, and industrial throughput that can’t afford to miss a step. That’s why so many machining teams across Minneapolis and St. Paul trust NTM to restore their boring bars and keep production on schedule.

When a boring bar head wears out, our team can completely replace the head of the tool.

  • Save Your Carbide Shank: Don’t throw away an expensive tool. We cut off the worn head and replace it, allowing you to reuse your costly carbide or steel shanks.
  • Competitor Bars Welcome: We don’t just service our own Stubby® carbide bars. We routinely replace the heads on our competitors’ boring bars to save you money across your entire tooling inventory.
  • 7-Day Turnaround: Our NU-Head™ service offers a fast, 7-day turnaround to keep your tools out of the backlog and back in rotation.
  • Function First: We don’t just touch up edges. We give you a brand-new cutting head so your bar can truly return to factory spec.
  • Machinist-Tested Reliability: All replacements are verified against dimensional targets, setup repeatability, and functional performance.

Minneapolis and St Paul machinists need equipment they can trust, and a repaired boring bar needs to perform at the same level it did when it was new. At NTM, we treat tool maintenance as a precise, decision-based service built to keep your production stable.
