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.

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.

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

In order to take full advantage of a machine tool's capabilities, you must have the tooling to unlock a machine’s full capability. Here is some advice for making the most of a new machine tool with the right tooling.

Do you want to make setup time more productive and reduce cost? Read on to learn tips on getting accurate setups done faster.

The new SW BIG CAPTO Rough Boring Head makes it possible to perform rough and finish boring processes.

Runout can be fickle, but finding a solution for it can pay significant dividends. How a little wobble can really increase your costs.

The hydraulic chucks for Swiss lathes offering has expanded to include inch-size standard chucks, as well as new F Type and R Type chucks.

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

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.

One of the most impactful tools in the BIG DAISHOWA suite of products is often overlooked. It’s durable and has all the best features for those looking to save time making hard-to-reach cuts. We’re talking about our AGU30 Universal Type Angle Heads.

The manufacturing process of boring is enlarging a hole in a piece of metal. Different kinds of boring tools are available for boring operations.

Milling is a core operation in all kinds of manufacturing environments. Here are five different types of milling holders, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. We’re here to help you choose with a breakdown and tips for using each.
