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.
ID boring is a common and time-consuming operation on CNC lathes. Common issues have led to the development of world-class boring tools—traditionally used on milling machines—that have proven to be just as effective on a CNC lathe.
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.
Even the most well-planned boring process may not achieve the desired result. We’ve provided solutions to common rough boring problems to help get you back on the road to productivity.
Everyone wants to get the most out of their tool holders. While some may take a set it and forget it approach with holders, it’s not recommended, as they have a direct impact on both parts and machinery. Here are some tips to ensure your holders deliver.
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.
When it comes to securely and accurately situating material on a machine table, there’s often more than one way to get the job done. With that in mind, consider these fundamental factors before purchasing new workholding.
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.
We’ve seen and heard it all when it comes to boring holes. That said, there are always a few questions that pop up over and over. From optimizing modular boring assemblies to deciding between twin boring or high-feed milling, here’s some of our best boring advice.
