R.H. Bolick provides welding services in Hickory, North Carolina, in the same shop where parts get machined and cut. Your fixture or frame can be made and welded without leaving the building. MIG is our primary process, and TIG comes in when a job calls for it. Send a drawing or describe the part, and you’ll hear back within 24 hours.
MIG welding services are available in these metals:
Steel
Stainless steel
Aluminum
You can start with an engineering drawing or the worn part itself. Either works. If you’re not sure a part fits our equipment, send the details and you’ll get a clear answer about what’s possible.
Industrial welding services at R.H. Bolick mostly go to manufacturers. The work comes from groups like these:
Paving equipment makers, whose work often combines machining with fabrication and welding
Machine builders who need large plates and bases to build their equipment on
We have operated in Hickory since 1970 and work with manufacturers across North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, and Virginia. We can ship finished parts anywhere a job requires.
If your part calls for TIG, mention it when you send the drawing, and we’ll confirm the fit. TIG welding fabrication is a smaller share of our work than MIG.
Custom machine fabrication gives machine builders the pieces their equipment is built on. Past work includes:
Large plates that equipment bolts onto, which we make regularly
Machine bases and frames, much like a table that the customer builds a machine onto
Welded fixtures
A work table built for a company
This is light fabrication. If you need a frame or base for a machine, send the details. Those requests come in occasionally, and we can build them.
One customer refurbishes older German saw-blade sharpening machines and converts them to CNC, and we make a lot of the new parts for the worn-out ones. If your machine needs a custom part welded or rebuilt, send the part or a drawing, and you’ll hear what the job would take.
Parts cut on our water jet table can move straight to the mills for finishing, and welding happens in the same shop. A job that needs more than one process stays in one place.
