The importance of meticulously prepping, starting, and finishing holes can’t be emphasized enough.

Why pull studs are under more pressure than ever before.

Boring tools with a digital readout aren’t the standard in U.S. shops, but their use is growing.

This simple switch makes life much easier because it introduces more standardization to the shop floor, reduces the burden on operators, increases setup speed and dramatically reduces the chances of human error. All of which saves time and realizes return on investment – and each additional machine helps increase the rate of return.

This message does not mean there is an error or accuracy malfunction with the boring head.

The first challenge to machinability – beyond simply working in titanium – for Colorado-based Cogitic Corporation was securing the cylinder in the universal machining center. It was also important to maintain access to the through-hole, which has an internal square key slot perpendicular to the stem hole.

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.

Even among experienced machinists, choosing the right insert for boring a hole remains a difficult process that is fraught with myth and misconception. However, it is no myth that insert selection can completely save or kill performance on an application.

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

Lead angles close to 90° more effectively combat potentially damaging chatter and vibration because they apply the least amount of radial pressure.

Do you want to make setup time more productive and reduce cost? Read on to learn tips on getting accurate setups done faster.

When it comes to aerospace components, the slightest imperfection could be catastrophic. Our experts answer five questions about boring precision holes on aerospace parts.

Reducing the L:D ratio provides an improvement in speed which then provides longer tool life, better surface finish and size control of the bore.

The precision and ruggedness of KAISER modular boring tools deliver measurable performance advantages by reducing costs and cycle times, all while allowing the flexibility and versatility to upgrade boring tools to meet today’s demanding requirements.

There comes a point when we must ask if it is time to replace or repair equipment. Consider these factors when you're faced with that decision.
