Spindle Services Company History

In 1953 Stan Eaves and Ron Washbourne founded “Eaves and Washbourne Limited” to serve the ever increasing need for precision ground parts. Soon they were being asked to process many ‘round and ground’ spindle type components.

In 1965 they linked up with Parker Majestic of Detroit, USA to manufacture and market Parker Majestic’s range of world renowned precision grinding machines and their full precision spindle range.

By the mid-1970’s business was booming and a new company was formed to concentrate on the spindle and grinding machine markets - Associated Machines and Tools Limited (AMT)

By the mid 80’s AMT were the largest UK manufacturer of precision spindles and machine tool spindles. In 1984 AMT was purchased outright by Parker Majestic who owned it until the company was closed in 1990.

In 1989, Stan Eaves and Don Ellwood set up Spindle Reconditioning Services Limited with ex-AMT employees. This was added to the existing Eaves group of companies consisting of:-

Eaves and Washbourne
CMR Engineering Limited
Albion Heat Treatment Limited
Plasma Coated Surfaces Limited
Gulson Plating Limited

Giving the group Heat Treatment, precision grinding, plasma metal spraying, plating, and spindle manufacture and rebuild capability.

Spindle Reconditioning Services continued to grow and renewed ties with Parker Majestic in 1994 with a license agreement.

As more and more customers turned to Spindle Reconditioning services to solve their new spindle problems as well as their old ones – the company name was changed in 1997 to Spindle Services Limited to cover all aspects of machine tool spindles.

Simon Emms joined Spindle Services in 1997 as Managing Director, having previously worked for Associated Machines and Tools/ Systematic Drillhead and Parker Majestic in Troy, Mi, USA.

Spindle Services continued to grow into the new Millenium, culminating in 2001 with a move to new, larger premises on Central City Industrial Estate, Coventry.

Spindle Services continue to offer the complete spindle solution to all machine tool spindle problems, drawing on the vast experience and engineering records gained within the organisation. Call us today to solve your problems.
