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.
By using digital technology and optimized indexable inserts, Schmauser Müller Metalltechnik has increased process reliability and efficiency in fine boring, as well as increased the lifetime of its tools by a factor of three.
BIG DAISHOWA has released two smaller sizes of the EWN Smart Damper precision boring heads, which eliminate vibration in deep-hole finish boring with a patented damping system.
Current travel and visitor restrictions continue to disrupt the normal schedule of service calls to manufacturers. To keep our customers up and running, the BIG KAISER Tool Measuring Solutions Department offers remote maintenance sessions.
TAG90 center-through coolant angle heads deliver coolant directly from the machine spindle to the cutting edge, without passing through the stop block.
Shops are leaving more than 30 percent of potential cutting tool life on the table by using poor-quality tool holders. With carbide costs rising, few shops can afford the waste. Learn how better tool holding improves tool life and reduces costs.
BIG DAISHOWA offers straight collets for clamping smaller diameter cylindrical tool shanks, providing coolant through the tool, or coolant around the periphery.
The Perfect Jet Collet, also known as PJC, is the perfect solution for achieving optimum end milling operations. Utilizing a peripheral coolant supply minimizes the loss of coolant caused by centrifugal forces during spindle rotation.
Compact type Angle Heads for drilling and tapping are approximately 25% lighter when compared with standard units. The case and head are substantially reduced.
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.
