Zusammenfassung:An apparatus adapted for servicing a turbomachine component includes a tool delivery mechanism adapted for delivering a tool to a desired location in a turbomachine. A tool support is adapted to be secured onto the body of the turbomachine, and is also configured to support the tool delivery mechanism. A machining tool is attached to the tool delivery mechanism, and includes an axial slide clamp configured to clamp to the turbomachine component, a radial slide slidably connected to the axial slide clamp, a spring connected to the axial slide clamp and the radial slide, the spring providing axial tension, and a machining bit retained at least partially within the radial slide. The apparatus is adapted to service the component of the turbomachine in-situ.
