A surface machining mechanism 30 modifies a repair segment 24 of a body 10 having a contoured surface 12. The surface machining mechanism 30 includes a frame assembly 32 and one or more guide members 45 for supporting the frame assembly 32 on the contoured surface 12. The guide members 45 mate with the contoured surface 12 and are movable along the contoured surface 12 to guide the frame assembly 32. A machining apparatus 50 is supported by the frame assembly 32. The machining apparatus 50 engages the repair segment 24 of the body (10) as the machining apparatus 50 is moved along the contoured surface 12. A method of modifying a repair segment 24 of a body 10 having a contoured surface 12 with the surface machining mechanism 30 is also provided.
