Pullout is a major issue facing manufacturers using milling chucks, especially when machining heat-resistant super alloys (HRSA) like titanium or inconel
Smart Damper products are designed for deep-hole boring with BIG KAISER’s CKB modular boring system, and also for extended reach milling with both inch- and metric-pilot shell mills and face mills.
There’s more than one way to finish a hole. The most effective option will depend on the number of parts, acceptable cycle time and tolerance callouts.
BIG DAISHOWA is expanding its offering of digital boring heads to include head sizes down to the CKB1 modular tooling connection size, which means boring down to Ø.787” for Series 310 peripheric heads, and Ø.016” for Series 112 centric boring heads.
Machinery tooling and equipment that get parts produced the fastest is always the best choice, right? But what else needs to be considered when choosing equipment for low- to mid-range production volumes?
Cheater bars are appropriately named, especially when it comes to tightening tool holders. We see the common pipes that are often added to the end of wrenches to achieve more torque in customers’ shops all the time. And while these makeshift wrenches may make tightening or loosening holders easier, the damage they can cause is often overlooked.
A lot of conflicting information has circulated about balancing tools over the years. Let's clear some things up and make life a little easier for you.
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.
We hear all the time how so many of our customers rely on the Unilock 138 series round workholding chuck for its mid-size diameter and adaptability to custom fixture designs.
