Discover how investing in the right tool holders can boost precision, extend tool life and save money in the long run.

There’s a lot to consider when deciding how to tool up a new machine. Committing to a thorough tooling selection upfront is vital. Think about your tooling and machine tool as a symbiotic partnership: what affects one affects the other.

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.

Choosing the right tool holder for the right work is clearly of critical importance to successful metalworking performances.

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.

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

There’s more than one way to skin a CAT…or should we say HSK in this case.

Cheater bars are appropriately named, especially when it comes to tightening tool holders. We see the common pipes that are often added to the end of wrenches to achieve more torque in customers’ shops all the time. And while these makeshift wrenches may make tightening or loosening holders easier, the damage they can cause is often overlooked.

If you’re looking for fast, easy return on investment, improving tool life is one of the best options a metalworking operation has.

Without the right tool holder, difficult conditions create the perfect storm for chatter, poor tool life and failing quality control molds.

High-speed machining can dramatically boost productivity if your tooling and machine setups are up to the task.

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.

Nowhere else is the concept of cost-efficiency more intensely analyzed than in the cut-throat world of manufacturing, and for good reason.

With thousands of part numbers to choose from, product selection can be a bit overwhelming. Take a look at some overlooked products and services that can help guarantee higher performance for your shop. 

Automated solutions are becoming more and more prominent in the machining industry. BIG DAISHOWA discusses the market’s current state, its latest developments and what it might look like in the future.
