Teterin Engineering – The Leader in Large Cylinder Block Machining
“At the forefront of Large Block Machining Globally”


Teterin Engineering’s class leading large cylinder block machining capabilities have just leapt to an even higher level with the recent commissioning of a new CNC Machining Centre specifically designed for large cylinder block machining. The commissioning of the new machining centre at Teterin Engineering’s Islington works marks only the 3rd machine of its type in operation globally and the only machine of its type in operation outside of North America.
This specialist large cylinder block CNC machine tool is designed to accommodate large cylinder blocks such as CAT 3600, Waukesha AT, MTU 8000, MTU 1163, EMD and GE Locomotive engines.

Teterin Engineering Managing Director, Peter Burgess, comments, “This new CNC machine tool represents a very significant investment, ensuring Teterin Engineering remains as the leader in large block machining in Australia and Asia. Our ability to achieve the highest quality and accuracy standards together with quick turnaround on large work pieces will be greatly enhanced with this new machine. In terms of capacity, this investment puts Teterin Engineering at the forefront of large block machining capabilities globally”. 

The installation of the new CNC machine tool took 6 weeks, firstly requiring large reinforced concrete footings to be poured for the machine tool to sit on. Once the footings had cured, the machine was placed into position, levelled and bolted down. Commissioning was then commenced by the American manufacturers Commissioning Engineer and the machine took its first cut on Friday the 4th of November.

Teterin Engineering Business Development Manager, Tony Fox, comments, “This is a very exciting time for Teterin Engineering, and the business is very proud to have commissioned such a machine tool, allowing Teterin Engineering to deliver unparalleled capability, capacity and value to owners, users and maintainers of very large gas and diesel engines”.
