Here are a few tool and part holding considerations for getting the most out of a mill-turn machine.

When it comes to securely and accurately situating material on a machine table, there’s often more than one way to get the job done. With that in mind, consider these fundamental factors before purchasing new workholding.

BIG DAISHOWA Angle heads allow you to flip the tool instead of the part, eliminating both unnecessary setup time and repositioning errors for a more cost-effective solution for workpieces.

Workholding plays a critical role in the metalworking equipment equation. Chuck condition is becoming even more important in multi-axis machining where additional angles and motion can amplify problems.

In a recently published article in Manufacturing Engineering, BIG KAISER contributes to the conversations of the evolution of five-axis machines.

When clamping for five-axis machining, access to the part is an issue many metalworking shops face.

While most can’t invest in transformative capital equipment without months of planning and of course extensive cost, workholding is a different story.

We hear all the time how so many of our customers rely on the Unilock 138 series round workholding chuck for its mid-size diameter and adaptability to custom fixture designs.

As part of a continued effort to fully serve users throughout the long lifetimes of their BIG Kaiser products, we’ve made it faster, easier and more cost effective to have some popular products repaired and properly maintained.
