There’s a lot to consider when deciding how to tool up a new machine. Committing to a thorough tooling selection upfront is vital. Think about your tooling and machine tool as a symbiotic partnership: what affects one affects the other.

In a shop where speed means everything, Team Penske relies on a SPERONI tool presetter to reduce set-up times on CNCs.

Why isn't your BIG-PLUS spindle system performing to the best of its abilities?

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.

Over the last couple of decades, digitization has increasingly crept into our lives. In the metalworking world it’s undeniable. Digital boring heads have emerged as indispensable time-saving and quality-ensuring tools in machine shops.

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.

From a safety standpoint, limiting surface contacts and close interactions are two of the most important steps that can be taken to help prevent the spread of illness. It got us thinking about how our tooling and systems can help maintain a safer environment.

John Saunders, a machine owner known for running the popular CNC machining YouTube channel, stopped by BIG DAISHOWA to discuss presetters with our product manager.

BIG DAISHOWA Angle heads allow you to flip the tool instead of the part, eliminating both unnecessary setup time and repositioning errors for a more cost-effective solution for workpieces.

In order to easily compare our line-up of products, we’ve pulled together a helpful graphic that displays the features and functions of each product.

Tooling Today compiles technical topics, product insights, and tips and tricks for improving productivity and reducing scrap.

Exciting improvements in automation are already on their way—higher productivity, increased safety, greater throughput and less scrap. Tool digitalization provides opportunities for production improvements, like our EWE digital fine boring tool. It displays the actual diameter of a tool, makes adjustments much simpler and faster, and reduces human error.

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

Machine shops of all shapes and sizes are facing more pressure than ever. While its primary purpose has traditionally been tool setup, tool presetters serve as both important tools and information hubs on the floor as technology advances.

When you invest in high-performance tooling, it’s just that—an investment. One that’s certain to pay back.
