Included among the machine brands serviced are Mori-Seiki, Anca, Doosan, Mazak, Okuma, Kitamura, and Matsuura, to name a few.

For the manufacturing sector to enjoy continued success, it is incumbent on companies and their support groups to continuously look at quality improvements in their process while incorporating cost saving measures which can be passed on to their customers. Northland Tool & Electronics has remained current with the constantly evolving design of machine tool spindles as well as new developments in process control, which has enabled them to continue to abide at the forefront of the spindle repair field. They are one of the few spindle repair facilities, which is able to keep the majority of the rebuild process under one roof. One example of this is their expanded grinding department that is dedicated solely to the remanufacture of precision spindle components. While many other companies, which offer spindle repair services often send some or all of their grinding work to outside vendors, Northland Tool & Electronics has dedicated the time and effort to develop an in house program for grinding that is second to none. This enables them to not only hold the micron tolerances requisite for intricate spindle parts but to also maximize control of delivery times for these parts. This qualification was also a major factor in their ability to become a BIG PLUS authorized repair center, which is a distinction that is held by an elite few in the spindle rebuilding industry.
