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.

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

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

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.

A tiny deviation at the spindle introduces runout and ruins the product. Learn why tool holder concentricity is the first step to precision tooling.

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

If you’re looking for fast, easy return on investment, improving tool life is one of the best options a metalworking operation has.

When one variable can make an impact on the result, as in metalworking, it’s a good idea to eliminate as many as possible. Each BIG DAISHOWA part is built to fit precisely and work specifically within each finished product.

CAT tool holders are shop-floor workhorses. See how this tool holder stays relevant, what sets it apart and how to choose the right setup.

Choosing the right tool for the job transforms results through higher productivity, consistent quality and greater profitability.

While most can’t invest in transformative capital equipment without months of planning and of course extensive cost, workholding is a different story.

Everyone wants to get the most out of their tool holders. While some may take a set it and forget it approach with holders, it’s not recommended, as they have a direct impact on both parts and machinery. Here are some tips to ensure your holders deliver.

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

As part of a continued effort to fully serve users throughout the long lifetimes of their BIG Kaiser products, we’ve made it faster, easier and more cost effective to have some popular products repaired and properly maintained.

Chattering and deflection have always been the bane of machinists’ existence, so much so that the sight of a long and slender tool holder will immediately cause goosebumps. If you understand why a long tool holder behaves the way it does, you’ll know that there are ways to fight back against this bending.
