We talk a lot about some of the products we offer that handle tooling while they aren’t on the spindle—and for good reason.

This topic is important as toolholders provide the critical connection between a machine spindle and the cutting tool.

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.

Machining at higher speeds can save time and money, however, increasing the speed also means increasing the inherent risk in the situation. To maximize speed potential, a holistic approach that considers tool, holder, machine and operator is essential.

Good measurements make setups faster, reduce recuts and identify potential spindle or holder issues before they become bigger problems. Let’s look at a few of the key areas to measure and the handy solutions available.  

A machine’s spindle is one of the key links in the machining chain. It makes regular inspection and spindle maintenance critical to getting the most out of your equipment and maintain process efficiency.

Discover how the right tool holder solved serious cutting challenges from reducing runout and streamlining operations to enabling efficiency and boosting part quality.

Understanding and controlling runout is crucial for any machine shop looking to maintain competitive advantages in today's precision-driven manufacturing environment.

Learn five key factors to consider when selecting boring tools to improve performance, reduce costs and ensure part quality.

Because the BIG-PLUS spindle system gets so much of our customers’ attention and interest, people often forget that BIG DAISHOWA offers an extensive line-up of other popular dual contact solutions, most notably HSK & BIG CAPTO.

When it comes to boring, there are several factors that can lead to poor performance. Whether it’s long cycle times, short tool life or poor bore quality, any or all these factors may need to be addressed in order to increase productivity. Although different, these issues are often closely linked in a given application.

Insufficient retention force of the spindle clamping mechanism could lead to reduced rigidity and vibrations, loss of machining quality, poor surface finish and shortened tool life. To help solve this problem, we have developed Dyna Force, a device for measuring the retention force of machine tool spindles.

Runout is one of the sneakier issues machinists and tool managers must deal with. It’s almost impossible to recognize in-process and difficult to diagnose after the fact. We identify potential sources.

When high accuracy, long tool life or high-speed capabilities are important, collet chucks are often the holder of choice.

Learn how to evaluate precision tooling quality with expert tips on AT tolerance, tool components, and manufacturing processes to improve accuracy, performance and cost efficiency in machining.
