The contract manufacturer Schittl from Deutsch Kaltenbrunn specializes in the production of one-offs and small series projects. Based on a recommendation from the multi-brand dealer Metzler, they use chucks from BIG DAISHOWA. This is their story.
As part of an ongoing effort to make processes and products more environmentally friendly, BIG DAISHOWA is making modifications to production materials and packaging.
Exciting improvements in automation are already on their way—higher productivity, increased safety, greater throughput and less scrap. Tool digitalization provides opportunities for production improvements, like our EWE digital fine boring tool. It displays the actual diameter of a tool, makes adjustments much simpler and faster, and reduces human error.
The Tool Pro is a unique tool holding fixture developed by BIG DAISHOWA for the assembly and disassembly of your tooling systems. The adapter of the Tool Pro can rotate 360º and lock in 45º increments.
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.
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.
Five-axis roughing can be painstaking. Pairing the right holder with the right cutter can save serious time while cutting and when setting up -- and eliminate those pain points.
Machine shops of all shapes and sizes are facing more pressure than ever. While its primary purpose has traditionally been tool setup, tool presetters serve as both important tools and information hubs on the floor as technology advances.
There are many advantages to turning (pun intended) to an underutilized operation that virtually every machining center is capable of: OD turning — otherwise known as “outer diameter turning”, “pin turning”, or “boss milling”.
The Sphinx Drinox Pilot Step Drill delivers up to three times longer tool life, three times higher coolant-through output and three times faster drilling.
