Turcite and Way Repair
Turcite is a thermoplastic material applied to guideways for precision machining and minimal wear and play. It offers a high resistance to chemical wear and corrosion over a wide temperature range.
Advantages
High Performance for many years
Low wear, even with the lack of proper lubrication
Dampens and absorbs vibration for precise machining
Resistant to soiling and moisture
High accuracy and repeatability performance
Worn and peeling Turcite
Turcite peeling
Worn factory installed Turcite
Turcite machined through to the way can cause premature peeling.
New Turcite, oil grooves being machined.
Finished Turcite.
Master Machine Rebuilders uses a thicker, longer lasting Turcite than most factory specifications. When machining the oil grooves we do not machine the Turcite through to the way. We feel this gives the Turcite a more durable, longer life span.
We also work with Turcite alternatives Moglice and Rulon. These are applied and machined in the same manor as shown above with the Turcite.
