Using helical interpolation to open holes is common practice. And in shallow holes or one-off projects, it’s a fine choice.

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.

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.

Have you had a chance to read our recent article that appears in the Fabricating & Metalworking Magazine? Alan Miller, informs readers about different ways to absorb synchronization error.

Smart Damper products are designed for deep-hole boring with BIG KAISER’s CKB modular boring system, and also for extended reach milling with both inch- and metric-pilot shell mills and face mills.

Making a hole with very tight tolerances is often a two-part process. When starting from scratch, a drill is used first to create the hole.

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.

While we specialize in holders, we do offer some specialized cutters with these materials and often get questions about PCD and CBN inserts. Here we tackle some of the most frequently asked questions.

Machinery tooling and equipment that get parts produced the fastest is always the best choice, right? But what else needs to be considered when choosing equipment for low- to mid-range production volumes?

Milling is a core operation in all kinds of manufacturing environments. Here are five different types of milling holders, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. We’re here to help you choose with a breakdown and tips for using each.
