In-machine laser technology is touted by machine tool builders and distributors as the way of the future and an indispensable tool for machinists. Do you really need an offline presetter if you have in-machine lasers?

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.

In the precision, no-room-for-error world of aerospace, manufacturers need sophisticated tool presetting like airplanes need wings.

Runout can be fickle, but finding a solution for it can pay significant dividends. How a little wobble can really increase your costs.

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

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

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.

The medical industry pushes the limits of precision for machining and tools. The trend toward less-invasive surgery using smaller parts translates to a need to better control the preci­sion and tolerances of micromachining processes.

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.

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

The new SW BIG CAPTO Rough Boring Head makes it possible to perform rough and finish boring processes.

This simple switch makes life much easier because it introduces more standardization to the shop floor, reduces the burden on operators, increases setup speed and dramatically reduces the chances of human error. All of which saves time and realizes return on investment – and each additional machine helps increase the rate of return.

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.

To make their cars as light and aerodynamic as possible, Team Penske’s shop performs delicate work milling aluminum, titanium and steel.

BIG DAISHOWA has launched the HMCJ, a super-slim milling chuck with peripheral coolant supply, designed to support heavy-duty and finish end milling tasks with power and precision using Ø1/2” or Ø12mm cutters.
