BIG DAISHOWA Adds New Tool Holder Size to Turning Offerings

Hoffman Estates, IL – BIG DAISHOWA, a global leader in premium high-precision tooling systems and solutions for the metalworking industries, is expanding its range of BIG Capto tool holders with the addition of a new size, C4, which is becoming increasingly popular as a quick-change system for turret tooling on lathes.

In accordance with ISO 26623-1, the polygon shape of the taper on this tool holder provides for highly repeatable accuracy and torque transmission. This system complements BIG DAISHOWA’s MEGA chuck rotating tooling program.

BIG Capto C4 is now offered for both rotating tool holders and turning tools for lathes. Its integral design allows for holding a variety of common inserts for different approach angles and clearance requirements in both left- and right-hand orientations. These compact and rigid tools also allow for large depth of cuts and feed rates.
