precision straightening
UK's leading specialist in the rectification of distortion on shaft, bar, tube and bolts
Let's get something straight
Getting things straight is what we do.
Established in 1979, John Macnab Services is a leading specialist in the straightening of component and rotationally symmetrical parts, operating from the UK’s largest sub-contract facility.
We are able to offer solutions to the deformation of many types and configurations of bar and shaft as well as a variety of other products.
Components often become misshapen due to:
- heat treatment
- machining
- accidental damage
- general wear and misalignment

The distortion or deformation of work-pieces and metal components is a common problem for engineers and manufacturers. Re-manufacturing or replacing parts can be a costly and time-consuming process.
Supplied by the world’s leading precision straightening press manufacturer, Galdabini, our extensive range of purpose-built machinery allows us to correct components ranging from small fasteners to shafts of up to 200mm diameter x 9 metres in length.
Batch sizes can vary from a single work-piece to many thousands of components.

We have gained an enviable reputation for our engineering skills making us industry’s first choice for straightening services. Our advanced computer-aided technology provides repeatable, accurate straightness, reducing cycle times and meeting the exacting tolerances demanded by our many customers.
Using successive, rapid, co-ordinated steps, a staged programme controls the entire precision straightening process – without the need to know previous deformation characteristics.
