Shops are leaving more than 30 percent of potential cutting tool life on the table by using poor-quality tool holders. With carbide costs rising, few shops can afford the waste. Learn how better tool holding improves tool life and reduces costs.

As a raw material, tungsten carbide is a limited natural resource and a widely popular tool material due to its hardness and heat resistance. We can both save money by reducing the consumption of carbide and help our environment by fully utilizing every tool before recycling the rest.

These easy-to-use measuring devices can help protect capital machinery, prevent scrapped parts, and speed setups or programming.

Everyone wants to get the most out of their tool holders. While some may take a set it and forget it approach with holders, it’s not recommended, as they have a direct impact on both parts and machinery. Here are some tips to ensure your holders deliver.

The further the tool does its work from the spindle, the more room for error. Deep pockets and cavities usually signify that a part is nearing completion, making the smallest of errors almost impossible to recover from and very costly.

Because the BIG-PLUS spindle system gets so much of our customers’ attention and interest, people often forget that BIG DAISHOWA offers an extensive line-up of other popular dual contact solutions, most notably HSK & BIG CAPTO.

Thinking of buying shrink-fit holders? Read this before making a decision.

When high accuracy, long tool life or high-speed capabilities are important, collet chucks are often the holder of choice.

Maintenance is really important and kind of a pain. When it comes to all-important spindle maintenance, you can avoid the pain by using simple tools and devices.

Valuable information on a new standard for balancing tools and tool systems that apply to today’s relevant variables for safe and productive machining.

Discover how the right tool holder solved serious cutting challenges from reducing runout and streamlining operations to enabling efficiency and boosting part quality.

Understanding the mechanical behavior of each interface is critical when selecting the right spindle and tooling for milling applications.

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.

Learn how we’ve adapted our tool holders to meet the coolant demands of modern-day machining.

Because of the popularity of BIG-PLUS, many tooling companies, without a proper license, offer what they call dual-contact tooling. But not all dual-contact is the same. Let’s tackle a few of the most common misconceptions.
