This depends on the material used. Copper and soft materials like tin can be machined easily on lathes etc. Nickel and Nickel based materials need to be ground using plenty of coolant.

On some occasions a copper base is put down machined on lathes etc. and a hard capping is put over the top. This is called a sandwich coating.

Some bearing retainer diameters need not have capping as the copper is as hard on compression as the base material EG Mild Steel.

Print cylinder and Hydraulic repair is usually finished by hand.
