• Locher, IncFounded in 1993 by Scott Locher, Locher, Inc. is a family-owned machine-tool service company best known for restoring spindle tapers in place and repairing production-critical equipment. Scott’s early experience operating manual and CNC machines shaped a diagnostic approach that grew from in-place spindle grinding into spindle and headstock rebuilding, metrology, alignment, and maintenance support. From its Ohio and Texas service footprint, Locher works with manufacturers on practical repair paths rather than assuming every problem requires a full rebuild.LANCASTER, OH
