2021 Picture of the Year Finalist – 04

January 19, 2026

Congratulations to Blake Westling and Peninsula Iron Works of Portland, Oregon, for using a BORETECH BW5000 Auto Bore Welder to weld up the mantle seat of a Symons 7 ft rock crusher in preparation for re-machining it back to the proper profile.

Blake says, “Mounting a unit like this to a positioner is just not practical. Being able to perform an automated orbital build-up while keeping the part stationary is key. Nobody makes a better system than CLIMAX.”
