HOS Engineering Professional Woodworking Machinery Repairs. Hi my name is Mike and I have been repairing woodworking machinery for over 30yrs.

I finished my apprenticeship at Otis Elevators as a Fitter & Turner. After leaving Otis I worked at various places as a maintenance fitter one being Pub Squash at Auburn. Prior to commencing my own business in Oct 1999, I worked for Allwood Machinery in Wetherill Park for 12+yrs and travelled interstate on occasions when required. My wife Margaret (Office Manager) and I moved to King Creek in Feb

2017 (we didn't downsize very well, we had had enough of the Sydney rat race) after settling in I needed to get back to work so did some door knocking and handed out business cards which led to carrying out repairs on the Mid North Coast as far as Coffs Harbour, Kempsey, Tuncurry & Port Macquarie but work has slowed down (I think I fixed them too well haha.) So with a nudge from Margaret we have decided to create this page. I travel to Sydney for work on occasions (still have some very loyal customers) but would really love to provide my services to the businesses and locals around my area. So if your looking for a service technician with out having to wait on getting someone from Sydney or Brisbane please feel free to contact me. I might add that if parts are unavailable and can be made or something can be modified I have a fully functioning workshop located in King Creek and can usually get you up and running asap with out too much production time lost. I’m also still in contact with a lot of various technicians from Sydney etc for the woodworking industry.

FYI his description of what was involved.

While trying to manufacture an eccentric adjuster from a standard M16 x 16mm long grub screw I managed to snap my 1" M12 x 1mm pitch button die in half. After finding that this size button die, whether it be a 1", 1 1/2" or a 2" are not readily available I carefully welded the broken die back together using a high carbon welding rod. I then manufactured a sleeve from 4140 high tensile steel and welded the 1" button die in the sleeve and making sure that it didn't soften too much. After a bit of surface grinding and machining I turned the broken die into an 1 1/2" button die and finished making the M12 eccentric adjuster.

Hi everyone welcome to the Hos Engineering page. I was going to publish this page on 22/10/19 as it was the 20th year of us being in business but I got carried away with the excitement of our son and his new wife coming for a visit. But here it is finally please share amongst your family and friends. If they need any Wood Working Machinery Repairs or are interested in finding out what we can do.
