Explore the versatility of the HSK tool system. Learn about the types, advantages and best uses of HSK tool holders to optimize your shop’s efficiency.

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.

Chattering and deflection have always been the bane of machinists’ existence, so much so that the sight of a long and slender tool holder will immediately cause goosebumps. If you understand why a long tool holder behaves the way it does, you’ll know that there are ways to fight back against this bending.

CAT tool holders are shop-floor workhorses. See how this tool holder stays relevant, what sets it apart and how to choose the right setup.

When choosing a tool holder, you want consistent results and long service life. Check out these considerations for rigid, consistent and durable tool holders.

Not all pull studs are created equally.

As our Engineering Manager, Alan Miller, likes to say, “You’re only as precise as your least precise component.”

A machine’s spindle is one of the key links in the machining chain. It makes regular inspection and spindle maintenance critical to getting the most out of your equipment and maintain process efficiency.

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

Machining vibration disrupts efficiency, reduces tool life and damages part finishes. Solving it isn’t easy as causes are varied and interconnected. Discover strategies to tackle vibration for better results.

Learn five key factors to consider when selecting boring tools to improve performance, reduce costs and ensure part quality.

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.

When it comes to boring, there are several factors that can lead to poor performance. Whether it’s long cycle times, short tool life or poor bore quality, any or all these factors may need to be addressed in order to increase productivity. Although different, these issues are often closely linked in a given application.

Insufficient retention force of the spindle clamping mechanism could lead to reduced rigidity and vibrations, loss of machining quality, poor surface finish and shortened tool life. To help solve this problem, we have developed Dyna Force, a device for measuring the retention force of machine tool spindles.
