Learn more about the real-world applications of our Smart Damper milling and boring tools, and why they’re a great investment.

Learn how high-quality boring tools and digital technology improve accuracy, reduce downtime and increase ROI, helping shops overcome common challenges and achieve more consistent machining results.

The manufacturing process of boring is enlarging a hole in a piece of metal. Different kinds of boring tools are available for boring operations.

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.

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”.

There’s more than one way to skin a CAT…or should we say HSK in this case.

When it comes to dialing in an ER system’s performance to match a specific application’s requirements or long life, there are three components to consider: the collet, the body of the holder and the nut.

In an effort to capitalize on the success of Steven Covey’s bestseller, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, we thought we could do Mr. Covey one better with the 8 Habits of Highly Effective Boring.

The advances in multi-axis machining in recent years have unlocked the creativity of machine shop engineers and operators.

After years of close observation and collaboration with manufacturing companies of all sizes, BIG DAISHOWA Seiki engineers have learned how the choice of tool holders affects production costs on the shop floor.

There may have been a time when good enough was good enough, but in today’s competitive metalworking market, good enough won’t cut it.

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.

Looking for new ways to cut costs and increase overall shop productivity?

Chattering and deflection have always been the bane of machinists’ existence, so much so that the sight of a long and slender tool holder will immediately cause goosebumps. If you understand why a long tool holder behaves the way it does, you’ll know that there are ways to fight back against this bending.
