Manufacturing miniature parts and features is not new. In the past, EDM and laser technologies were used to create these features. Although these technologies worked for low volume jobs, they are not practical for the high volume micro applications that are in demand today.

The mid-size diameter and adaptability to custom fixture designs make the Unilock 138 series BIG DAISHOWA’s best-selling round chuck workholding solution.

BIG DAISHOWA introduces a new small-diameter indexable rough boring solution for a range not previously available.

Deep hole boring comes with challenges created by the inevitable deflection that occurs when trying to finish a hole of a substantial depth. Various factors determine the best approach to solving the issue, and it’s important to consider all factors before choosing a solution for your boring needs.

The Affordable Care Act is changing how we access and consume medical services.

This new micro deep-hole drill from BIG DAISHOWA’s Sphinx line provides a time-saving option for creating wire EDM starter holes, averaging 5X faster per hole according to testing.

Why pull studs are under more pressure than ever before.

Moldmakers hoping to avoid problems such as chatter, poor tool life and molds that fail quality control muster need to consider a variety of factors when selecting a long-reach toolholder.

Gearench produces more than 40 different product lines for the oil industry and selected the Speroni MAGIS 400 tool presetter for its precision.

Aerospace is unique among industries in its thirst for component accuracy with ‘blemish-free’ precision. Unlike any other industry, anything that goes into the air has to be on spec, as the smallest imperfection in machining can adversely affect flight safety.

The return on investment from digital boring comes from the time saved making adjustments on the spindle, as well as the increased adjustment accuracy.

As cutting tool manufacturers increase the recommended operating conditions for their products, users achieve the desired result: shorter cycle times on existing machine tools.

Tool management system (TMS) software & a tool presetter can accomplish both cutting cost and increases in productivity for a shop’s day-to-day activities.

When that inevitable job arises that requires higher RPM output, operators are left with the choice of replacing the machine altogether to gain higher productivity, or looking into an attachment, like a spindle speeder, to close the RPM gap.

The BIG DAISHOWA SPHINX drill series includes more than 2,000 different drills under 3 mm in diameter as standard. With a range of 0.05 to 3 mm diameters.

As lathes and turning machines pivot toward quick-change tooling models from traditional stick tools, tool presetters present benefits of keeping chips flying while reducing human error and increasing precision.

The flexible, modular Unilock Zero-Point Clamping System, offered by BIG DAISHOWA, is now available in a kit specifically designed for all Haas 160mm platter rotary indexing tables.

The high-precision MEGA ER Grip with the modular CKB connection is now offered, allowing custom collet chuck configurations with standard components.

With a little knowhow and the right tools, see how you can significantly reduce cycle time by rough boring instead of performing a helical interpolation with a mill.

Boring tools with a digital readout aren’t the standard in U.S. shops, but their use is growing.

BIG DAISHOWA introduces the new R-Cutter (Pat. P) and BF-Cutter.

BIG DAISHOWA has announced the smallest precision finish boring head on the market—for use on micro-milling machines with high-speed spindles.

BIG DAISHOWA has been adding digital boring head options since 2010, beginning with the Series 112 for small diameter finish boring.

See the benefits of BIG DAISHOWA's premium tooling play out with the new Speed Finisher face mill for aluminum or cast iron.

CNC machine tool efficiency is all about managing the components that must come together in proper alignment: the machine spindle, toolholder assembly and workspace.

Add flexibility to your machine, increasing productivity by easily changing the angle of the cutter while using the original workpiece setup.

BIG DAISHOWA's HSK-A125 tooling system, for machines such as Makino's T2 and T4 models, is the ideal solution for the aerospace industry – capable of tackling large-scale titanium and other workpieces on massive tables.

Ensure long machine tool, cutting tool and tool holder life while reducing stress on your spindle with the ATC Alignment Tool from BIG DAISHOWA.

Tool presetters are used to measure offsets offline to keep machine tools running. They quickly pay for themselves by reducing downtime on machine spindles.
