Wireline Tool Machining
Wireline gets one shot. Tools that don't work at depth cost more than a recut — they cost a run. B&R Productions machines wireline components to the tolerances they actually need to survive the hole.
What we machine
Running tools, pulling tools, setting tools, fishing tools, locators, landing collars, mandrels, subs, and shear-pin housings. Both new-manufacture parts to print and reverse-engineered replacements from worn samples.
Alloys and features
Inconel 718 for sour-service applications, 17-4 PH for the bulk of wireline tool bodies, 4140 pre-hard for high-load structural components, super duplex where chloride resistance matters. Single-point threading, tight-tolerance shear features, and precision internal bores.
Working with wireline service companies
Emergency turnaround is normal — a fishing job that can't run is a customer losing hours per day. We stage material where possible so same-day and next-day are realistic for repeat customers. Call (936) 291-7827.

Frequently asked questions
Can you machine precision shear-pin features?
Yes — shear grooves and pin bores machined to spec with CMM verification. This is a routine wireline-tool feature we handle daily.
Do you reverse-engineer discontinued wireline tools?
Yes. Send a worn sample and we'll produce the replacement with material traceability.
What tolerances do you hold on tool-body OD/ID?
±0.0005" on critical features. Concentricity and internal bore roundness held tighter than most job shops offer.
