The chances of a tool slipping or pulling out in its holder during work is increasing. Here are some insights to help you select the proper holder for your work.

Coated carbide micro deep hole drills manufactured by SPHINX Tools can reliably create wire EDM starter holes up to 5x faster than traditional wire erosion techniques.

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.

If your work demands accuracy or you are looking to give your 5-axis capabilities a boost, hydraulic chucks are worth considering.

As we close out 2020, and our 30th anniversary celebration, we take one last look back at BIG DAISHOWA’s role in the evolution of boring tools.

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.

You don’t have to reorganize your shop, reinvent your processes or invest in expensive machinery to eliminate inefficiencies.

Accurate offsets and workpiece reference points are critical to effective setups and first-part accuracy. Taking a manual approach or attempting to verify these in the machine without the right measuring devices can be a delicate and time-consuming process.

Large part batches? Tight bore tolerances? Deep-hole boring or any requirement combination in-between, select the right boring head for getting each and every job done right the first time.

High-speed machining can dramatically boost productivity if your tooling and machine setups are up to the task.

Struggling to meet customer expectations, a small change made a big difference to one shop.

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

Jet engine manufacturers have found that even the most infinitesimal imperfection can produce catastrophic results; absolute precision is the name of the game in the aerospace industry.

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

BIG KAISER’s digital precision boring heads, from Swiss partner KAISER were part of a case study alongside Impact CNC in the September issue of Modern Machine Shop.
