Riggs Machine & Welding serves Dublin and the southern end of Erath County from our Stephenville shop — about 20 miles north on US-377. We offer machine shop work, welding, trailer repair, tractor PTO service, metal supply, and more, all under one roof.
Dublin is the second-largest community in Erath County, sitting about 20 miles south of Stephenville on US-377. We have served Dublin-area customers for decades — ranchers, equipment operators, contractors, and anyone who needs metalwork done right. At 20 miles, a same-day round trip is practical for most jobs.
Walk-ins are welcome for most jobs. Calling ahead for machine shop work or custom fabrication helps us give you an accurate estimate before you make the drive.
Dublin is about 20 miles south of Stephenville, making our machine shop a practical run for Erath County operators in the Dublin area. We handle lathe turning, milling, boring, shaft repair, and custom part fabrication for farm, ranch, and commercial equipment. Same-day turnaround is realistic for many machine shop jobs at this distance.
We weld and fabricate for customers from the Dublin area. Structural repairs on implement frames, broken equipment, custom gate work, and general fabrication for ranch infrastructure are regular jobs. We work in steel, iron, and aluminum using MIG, TIG, and stick processes.
Trailers hauling livestock and equipment around Dublin and Erath County see constant use. We stock common trailer parts — axles, bearings, lights, couplers — and handle repairs the same day in most cases. Structural work on cracked frames and bent tongues is also available.
Dublin sits in the middle of Erath County farming and ranching country, and a PTO or driveline failure during busy season is a real problem. We repair PTO shafts, rebuild drivelines, service gearboxes, and stock common driveline parts so Dublin-area operators minimize downtime.
We build and install steel and aluminum flatbeds on pickup trucks for Dublin-area ranchers and contractors. A steel flatbed adds real hauling capability and outlasts factory options. We fit the bed to your truck with options for toolboxes, stake pockets, and a headache rack.
We build custom chip spreaders for dump trucks and skid steer loaders used on chip seal, road maintenance, and aggregate spreading jobs around Dublin. Units are fabricated at our Stephenville shop for durable, real-world use.
Dublin welders who need consumables without waiting on an order can come to our supply counter in Stephenville. Rods, MIG wire, flux-core wire, helmets, gloves, and grinding supplies are available off the shelf during regular shop hours.
We stock structural steel and cut it to your dimensions on the spot. No minimum order, no delivery wait. Angle iron, flat bar, square tubing, round bar, and plate are available for walk-in customers from Dublin.
We stock oxygen, acetylene, argon, CO2, and mixed gas for walk-in cylinder exchange. Dublin welders and operators can make a quick run up US-377 and swap an empty for a full cylinder without waiting on a fill.

Can I get same-day service coming from Dublin?
For many jobs, yes. Trailer repairs, parts pickup, cylinder exchange, and metal supply are same-day by nature. For machine shop work, call first and we can tell you if your specific job can be turned around the same day.
Do you work on Erath County farm equipment?
Yes. Tractors, implements, PTO systems, and drivelines are a core part of our business. We know this equipment and we know how important it is to keep it running through the season.
Is there a minimum order for buying metal?
No. Walk in, tell us what you need, and we cut it to length. One piece or twenty — there is no minimum.
Do you weld both steel and aluminum?
Yes. We weld steel, iron, and aluminum. The process we use depends on the material and the application. For most agricultural and ranch work, steel MIG or stick is appropriate. We use TIG for precision work and thinner materials.
