BIG DAISHOWA Angle heads allow you to flip the tool instead of the part, eliminating both unnecessary setup time and repositioning errors for a more cost-effective solution for workpieces.

BIG DAISHOWA’s MEGA NEW BABY CHUCK has been delivering extreme precision for more than 20 years and is now available with up to ø1″ clamping for drills, reamers and finishing end mills with .00004″ runout accuracy.

When clamping for five-axis machining, access to the part is an issue many metalworking shops face.

Manufacturing miniature parts and features is not new. In the past, EDM and laser technologies were used to create these features. Although these technologies worked for low volume jobs, they are not practical for the high volume micro applications that are in demand today.

In-machine laser technology is touted by machine tool builders and distributors as the way of the future and an indispensable tool for machinists. Do you really need an offline presetter if you have in-machine lasers?

Small efficiency advantages multiplied over many cycles can have dramatic impacts on the bottom line, so it’s important to seek creative approaches.

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.

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

Runout is one of the sneakier issues machinists and tool managers must deal with. It’s almost impossible to recognize in-process and difficult to diagnose after the fact. We identify potential sources.

Hydraulic chucks are an excellent choice for high accuracy applications due to their ability to maintain runout accuracy over an extended period of time.

The is no general rule to cutting tool shank insertion as a multiplier for shank diameter. All tool holder types have different requirements.
