Whether you're performing rough boring operations or precision finishing work, there are a lot of considerations that go into the job. Starting with the right boring head is the first order of business, and there are several considerations to make an informed decision.

Discover what tool presetters are, why they matter, when to use them and how to choose the best one for your shop.

Use this quick comparison chart to find the small diameter fine boring head that fits your application.

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.

We’re highlighting yet another new product this week that makes high performance and precision easier.

With thousands of part numbers to choose from, product selection can be a bit overwhelming. Take a look at some overlooked products and services that can help guarantee higher performance for your shop. 

Discover the advantages of using a modular tooling system and what makes BIG DAISHOWA modular components unique.

We’ve built our name on tool holders, boring tools, cutting tools and specialized solutions for the everyday and most demanding machining operations. You may be surprised to learn we have deep expertise in lathe tooling as well. We have to. Lathes are critical to the development and production of our tools.

Using helical interpolation to open holes is common practice. And in shallow holes or one-off projects, it’s a fine choice.

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.

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.

Ansonia Manufacturing, the only machine shop in the town of Sonoma, California, discovered the EWN2-32ExER32 boring head and used it to complete a tricky hardware component job for a “live” glass art sculpture.
