Anyone who’s made holes understands the difficulties that can arise: vibration, wander and even breakage. When it comes to production-level volume, these issues become even more limiting. Many turn to helical interpolation with a mill as a reliable way to rough out holes. We’re here to tell you there’s a faster, easier option.

Machining at higher speeds can save time and money, however, increasing the speed also means increasing the inherent risk in the situation. To maximize speed potential, a holistic approach that considers tool, holder, machine and operator is essential.

When it comes to aerospace components, the slightest imperfection could be catastrophic. Our experts answer five questions about boring precision holes on aerospace parts.

BIG DAISHOWA Angle heads allow you to flip the tool instead of the part, eliminating both unnecessary setup time and repositioning errors for a more cost-effective solution for workpieces.

Creative applications of tooling and accessories can get complex parts out the door instead of having to lose those parts due to design edits.

Common boring mistakes that are costing you time & money—and how to fix them

The Twin Cutter’s ability to take on heavier cuts allows shops to be more efficient.

Five-axis roughing can be painstaking. Pairing the right holder with the right cutter can save serious time while cutting and when setting up -- and eliminate those pain points.

BIG DAISHOWA offers one of the most complete line ups of boring tools in the world. Our experts share some of their favorite tips and resources.

Fine boring heads provide high-precision finishing options for many applications, however, fine boring can be a delicate operation that can go awry. Check out these troubleshooting tips.

Just because you buy inexpensive tooling doesn’t mean you’re saving money. Invest in your tooling and experience the economy of quality.

Even the most well-planned boring process may not achieve the desired result. We’ve provided solutions to common rough boring problems to help get you back on the road to productivity.

We’ve built our name on tool holders, boring tools, cutting tools and specialized solutions for the everyday and most demanding machining operations. You may be surprised to learn we have deep expertise in lathe tooling as well. We have to. Lathes are critical to the development and production of our tools.

ID boring is a common and time-consuming operation on CNC lathes. Common issues have led to the development of world-class boring tools—traditionally used on milling machines—that have proven to be just as effective on a CNC lathe.

Here are a few tool and part holding considerations for getting the most out of a mill-turn machine.
