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?
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.
BIG DAISHOWA offers straight collets for clamping smaller diameter cylindrical tool shanks, providing coolant through the tool, or coolant around the periphery.
CNC Tool holders are the interface between the machine spindle and the cutting tool. BIG DAISHOWA offers a wide variety of shanks common to the market.
Tool holders play a critical role in connecting elements maximizing machining performance, however, several different styles are available and the most suitable one will depend on the operation.
