Since the 1970s, Komo Machine has been designing and producing CNC routers and machining centers. This equipment serves a range of industries, from woodworking and plastics to aerospace and composite manufacturing. The company partners with spindle manufacturers such as Hiteco and HSD to integrate prebuilt components into their router systems rather than producing spindles in-house.
Setco repairs spindles from Komo machines and restores them to original specifications or better.
See the difference quality makes. Our before and after photos show the care and precision that go into every Komo spindle repair. From damaged or worn components to fully restored, like-new condition — we bring your spindle back to peak performance, helping you avoid costly downtime and get back to production faster.

Setco has been a leader in the machine tool industry since 1912. We repair spindles from over 350 OEMs, including components from manufacturers no longer in production. This experience with legacy systems means older Komo routers can remain serviceable even when original parts become challenging to source.
Multiple service centers globally provide quick response times and superior technical knowledge for all types of spindles. In addition to repairs, our highly skilled engineering staff can redesign, upgrade, reverse-engineer, and provide custom modifications when beneficial.
Komo routers and machining handle various materials, including wood, plastics, composites, aluminum, and ferrous metals like steel. These applications require spindles that maintain accuracy and efficiency under heavy cutting loads. When spindle bearings wear out or seals fail, cutting quality degrades, and cycle times increase.
Surface finish problems and dimensional errors often appear before complete spindle failure, giving operators warning signs that maintenance is needed. Abnormal vibration patterns and unusual noise levels also signal developing problems. Tool wear accelerates when spindles operate with worn components, resulting in increased consumable costs and reduced production efficiency.
Setco offers repair services that address these failures and return spindles to service. We also include paperwork documenting the repairs with complete performance verification.
Our proven approach to each repair project includes the following:
Each repair begins with a complete disassembly and thorough cleaning to expose internal wear patterns. Technicians inspect bearing journals, housings, seals, and shaft surfaces for damage or dimensional changes. This examination identifies root causes rather than just addressing symptoms.
We provide customers with free, written quotes that detail the necessary work and costs, with no hidden charges. Customers know exactly what to expect before the repair process begins.
Worn components receive replacement or reconditioning to meet manufacturer specifications. This process includes machining the housings, installing the bearings, regrinding the shafts with chrome or laser cladding, and replacing the seals. Electrical components undergo testing to verify proper function before reassembly.
Rebuilt units undergo precision balancing and full-speed testing with thermal stabilization. Vibration data and performance measurements are recorded and archived by serial number for warranty reference. Testing continues until the spindle operates within specification at maximum rated speeds.
Completed spindles ship with test documentation, parts lists, and warranty coverage. Each rebuild undergoes final quality verification before being sent back to the customer.
Spindle failures in CNC equipment cause production challenges that need fast, reliable solutions. Setco’s repair services restore Komo spindles to original performance levels, backed by testing and documentation to verify results. Call or contact us online with questions or to request a quote.
