Hi,
This might seem like a daft question, but:
I keep seeing reference to people taking various machine parts to a "machine shop" e.g. to have some welding done, or a bearing pressed on/off, or a shaft trued up, or some boring done.
I have a couple of small jobs like this, in order to fix up my lathe (a PM90). I used google/google maps, and looked in the Chicago area for "machine shop", but I'm not sure from the results what kind of place I should be looking for. There were a lot of industrial suppliers and some auto shops. Is there a different term I should be looking for?
Thanks!
Lee
