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.
After years of close observation and collaboration with manufacturing companies of all sizes, BIG DAISHOWA Seiki engineers have learned how the choice of tool holders affects production costs on the shop floor.
Hello fans of the two-stroke motorcycles. Thanks to Keanu Reeves and Arch Motorcycle Company, Americans now have the opportunity to get their hands-on Suter motorcycles.
BIG KAISER’s digital precision boring heads, from Swiss partner KAISER were part of a case study alongside Impact CNC in the September issue of Modern Machine Shop.
By exhibiting three different scenarios — machining, welding and assembly — project manager, John Zaya, shares knowledge on the importance of stability in a recent Fabricating & Metalworking article.
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.
Many factors may go into the decision to invest in a presetter such as tool budget, accuracy needs or delivery time. We’ve put together a reference guide.
The full radial contact and extreme gripping force of Hi-Power Milling Chucks delivers the stability needed to increase spindle speeds by 20 percent in one application at Team Penske.
