A method and apparatus is disclosed for use in a hydraulic assembly (1) for purposes of repairing and resurfacing of turbine liner walls (8) pitted as a result of cavitation and the like. The method includes rotation of turbine blades (6) and a turbine shaft (2) through a turning mechanism (18) positioned on a blade (6), so the turning forces are exerted directly between the turning mechanism and the surface of the liner wall (8). The method and apparatus further includes the use of a repair assembly (16) mounted to the turbine blades (6) for selectively positioning a grinding mechanism (104) adjacent the liner wall (8) for grinding and sanding the same. The grinder mechanism (104) includes components for selectively adjusting horizontal and vertical positioning of the mechanism (104). The horizontal and vertical positioning components can also be employed with other mechanisms for performing repairing and resurfacing operations.       Recently Added Patents Image selection from captured video sequence based on social components Connector Automated performance prediction for service-oriented architectures Method of calculating an optical system according to a given spectacle frame Timepiece with multi-functional actuator Hoseless hydraulic system Efficient UE QoS/UL packet build in LTE   Randomly Featured Patents Surface configuration of a rear bumper for a vehicle Home networking web-based service portal Monoterpene synthases from grand fir (Abies grandis) Method of repairing a dredge cutterhead Total internal reflection knife edge Interior trim attachment apparatus for an automotive vehicle Disk array apparatus Recast removal method Color sonar system for displaying echo signals from fish Substituted benzodioxins © 2006-2008 PatentGenius.
