Nitro Manufacturing operator Nick Nowakowski is a big fan of the BIG Kaiser Mega Synchro Tapping Holder, model BBT30.

Even in the cleanest, you-can-eat-off-the-floor machine shops, the reality is that at all times, chips are flying, smoke is forming and coolant is spraying.

Tool assembly is a critical moment in the overall machining process, as tools are vulnerable to inevitable operator errors and general mishandling.

After years of close observation and collaboration with manufacturing companies of all sizes, BIG Daishowa Seiki engineers have learned how the choice of tool holders affects production costs on the shop floor.

Note the clearance between flanges on this competitor's unlicensed tool holder.
