Micromachining, cutting where the volume of chips produced with each tool path is very small, is not a high-speed operation in relation to chip load per tooth. Rather, it involves a high spindle speed due to cutter diameter. The part may be physically larger, but details of the part require ultra-small profiles achieved only by micromachining. In other words, micromachining is not limited in scope to only miniature parts.

Many machine shops lack objective criteria for making toolholder purchasing decisions & most are made by price alone. However they can improve runout significantly by using the right toolholders.

Manufacturing miniature parts and features is not new. In the past, EDM and laser technologies were used to create these features. Although these technologies worked for low volume jobs, they are not practical for the high volume micro applications that are in demand today.

The flexible, modular Unilock Zero-Point Clamping System, offered by BIG DAISHOWA, is now available in a kit specifically designed for all Haas 160mm platter rotary indexing tables.

Here are some insights into the extra care and know-how needed to achieve success and build a successful reputation as a reliable supplier of micro machined parts.

The limitations of using milling tools to prepare holes for finishing become apparent as hole depth and volume increase. Enter the relatively simple and affordable twin cutter, which can solve this and virtually any other holemaking problem.

BIG DAISHOWA recently joined Okuma America Corporation’s Partners in THINC network, a collaborative network of 40+ companies that service the metalcutting and manufacturing industries.

The presetting machines available today are accurate, easy to use and provide closed-loop tool compensation on the CNC machine tool, saving significant time during job change-over.

The medical industry pushes the limits of precision for machining and tools. The trend toward less-invasive surgery using smaller parts translates to a need to better control the preci­sion and tolerances of micromachining processes.

Boring tools with a digital readout aren’t the standard in U.S. shops, but their use is growing.

Otto Martin Maschinenbau GmbH & Co. KG has been manufacturing woodworking machinery since 1922. They know a thing or two about precision tools.

The return on investment from digital boring comes from the time saved making adjustments on the spindle, as well as the increased adjustment accuracy.

BIG DAISHOWA has launched the HMCJ, a super-slim milling chuck with peripheral coolant supply, designed to support heavy-duty and finish end milling tasks with power and precision using Ø1/2” or Ø12mm cutters.

BIG DAISHOWA introduces the Perfect Jet Collet, designed to optimize coolant supply in high-speed operations, resulting in better coolant delivery and the option to seal the collet for coolant-through tools.

BIG DAISHOWA has expanded its lineup of Fullcut Mill FCM tools to include larger diameters and additional lengths.
