Micromachining, cutting where the volume of chips produced with each tool path is very small, is not a high-speed operation in relation to chip load per tooth. Rather, it involves a high spindle speed due to cutter diameter. The part may be physically larger, but details of the part require ultra-small profiles achieved only by micromachining. In other words, micromachining is not limited in scope to only miniature parts.

BIG KAISER expands its product line, bringing the highest quality, most precise, most reliable and most accurate tooling and accessory products to market.

As cutting tool manufacturers increase the recommended operating conditions for their products, users achieve the desired result: shorter cycle times on existing machine tools.

BIG DAISHOWA introduces a series of new micro engraving cutters developed and built by their partner SPHINX (Derendingen, Switzerland).

Keeping pace with modern manufacturing demands often means bridging the gap between design and production. Creative and resourceful applications of tooling and accessories, such as angle heads, can get complex parts out the door.

The limitations of using milling tools to prepare holes for finishing become apparent as hole depth and volume increase. Enter the relatively simple and affordable twin cutter, which can solve this and virtually any other holemaking problem.

The Affordable Care Act is changing how we access and consume medical services.

Moldmakers hoping to avoid problems such as chatter, poor tool life and molds that fail quality control muster need to consider a variety of factors when selecting a long-reach toolholder.

Shrink-fit and hydraulic holders are both useful in low clearance, tight work envelopes found in moldmaking and multi-axis machining applications. When deciding which one to use, their differences will guide your choice. Here are some of the fundamental contrasts to help you decide which holder type is best for your work.

The way we machine parts has changed significantly over the years. Now it’s time to change how we think about workholding too.

Bicycles are one of the oldest modes of transportation, but that doesn’t mean they haven’t evolved with the times.

Tool holders play a critical role in connecting elements maximizing machining performance, however, several different styles are available and the most suitable one will depend on the operation.

BIG DAISHOWA introduces Hydraulic Chucks for Swiss Lathes, the first improvement to this technology in more than 30 years.

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