Otto Martin Maschinenbau GmbH & Co. KG has been manufacturing woodworking machinery since 1922. They know a thing or two about precision tools.

In a time when finding new revenue is critical, making capital equipment more versatile can help business. There are few opportunities to affordably expand your shop’s capabilities than to start micromachining with the help of the right tools and accessories.

Even though it has been around forever, does the vise have limitations for shops in a competitive marketplace? Do you need to reinvent the wheel to reduce some of its limitations? To evaluate the vise’s viability in today’s manufacturing operations, we need to uncover the most efficient way to apply it.

The SPERONI SPI is the newest of BIG KAISER's Industry 4.0 upgrades to its offering of tool presetting solutions. SPI dramatically reduces the time and steps needed to transfer precise and accurate tool measurements to a machine tool.

Micromachining, cutting where the volume of chips produced with each tool path is very small, is not a high-speed operation in relation to chip load per tooth. Rather, it involves a high spindle speed due to cutter diameter. The part may be physically larger, but details of the part require ultra-small profiles achieved only by micromachining. In other words, micromachining is not limited in scope to only miniature parts.

Chamfering the entry and exit of 0.80mm to 6.00mm holes can be a tedious, time-consuming process. The Noventa from Sphinx can transform this process using an innovative geometry that improves cycle time, tool life and surface quality.

BIG KAISER Precision Tooling Inc. is celebrating its 30th anniversary. On August 1, 1990, KPT Kaiser opened its doors and began its mission to make Kaiser CKB modular boring tools, developed in Switzerland, the leader in the North American market.

BIG KAISER expands jet-through hydraulic chuck line to include the BCV interface and additional inch sizes.

BIG KAISER has won the Global Industry Award 2020 in the production performance category for its EWA, a fully automatic fine boring tool.

BIG KAISER Precision Tooling’s Nick Jew discusses connected boring tools and how they improve data collection.

While current travel and visitor restrictions are upending the normal schedule of service calls to manufacturers, a remote maintenance session may be just the fix. BIG KAISER Precision Tooling Inc. is providing limited free maintenance support for all models of Speroni tool presetters.

BIG KAISER Precision Tooling has released two new insert chip-breaker types designed to improve surface finish in long-chipping materials.

The Lollipop from Sphinx is ideal for machining undercuts, deburring and multi-axis machining.

The SPERONI ESSENTIA features a compact bench-top design, works with any brand of router tools and handle complex tool profiles in stone cutting with ease.

The modular UNILOCK Stabilizer 50 System provides lateral support for tall parts during machining, welding or assembly processes.

Machine maintenance is critical to metalcutting. Because of their manual nature, certain tasks can be hard and time-consuming.

BIG KAISER Precision Tooling is adding more than 30 pressed-geometry carbide inserts for its tools.

BIG KAISER Precision Tooling is pleased to announce a promotion and multiple new hires that will continue to bolster customer support and responsiveness in several key regions.

Lead angles close to 90° more effectively combat potentially damaging chatter and vibration because they apply the least amount of radial pressure.

As part of an ongoing effort to make processes and products more environmentally friendly, BIG KAISER is making modifications to production materials and packaging.

A redesign of the popular manuals, DXF and STEP (STP) search tool makes finding 2D and 3D data and specific product manuals easier.

The new Chip Blower is designed to make removing chips and coolant from parts and machine tables fast and easy.

Standard inch sizes available for BIG-PLUS BBT30 basic arbors (shell mill holders, end mill holders, shrink fit and blanks)

New inserts for indexable tools—C-Cutter Mini, C-Centering Cutter and Fullcut Mill—are optimized to extend tool life in stainless steel or aluminum.

To offer more flexibility, BIG KAISER has moved production of its CAT50 milling adapters to the U.S.

When used together with a machine that delivers on speed and accuracy, ChipFan and T-Slot Clean help machines reach maximum levels of productivity—even during downtime.

With the addition of the Fullcut Radius Mill and the Ball End Mill, the Fullcut Mill Contact Grip series now features four connection sizes and seven cutter types.

The contract manufacturer Schittl from Deutsch Kaltenbrunn specializes in the production of one-offs and small series projects. Based on a recommendation from the multi-brand dealer Metzler, they use chucks from BIG KAISER. This is their story.

Unleashing the hidden potential of existing equipment with BIG-PLUS® spindles

Insufficient retention force of the spindle clamping mechanism could lead to reduced rigidity and vibrations, loss of machining quality, poor surface finish and shortened tool life. By ensuring that the retention force is at the correct level, cutting performance remains consistent, providing high-quality machining results.
