Anyone who’s made holes understands the difficulties that can arise: vibration, wander and even breakage. When it comes to production-level volume, these issues become even more limiting. Many turn to helical interpolation with a mill as a reliable way to rough out holes. We’re here to tell you there’s a faster, easier option.

Learn how we’ve adapted our tool holders to meet the coolant demands of modern-day machining.

Learn how high-quality boring tools and digital technology improve accuracy, reduce downtime and increase ROI, helping shops overcome common challenges and achieve more consistent machining results.

A machine’s spindle is one of the key links in the machining chain. It makes regular inspection and spindle maintenance critical to getting the most out of your equipment and maintain process efficiency.

When it comes to dialing in an ER system’s performance to match a specific application’s requirements or long life, there are three components to consider: the collet, the body of the holder and the nut.

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

We hear all the time how so many of our customers rely on the Unilock 138 series round workholding chuck for its mid-size diameter and adaptability to custom fixture designs.

Insufficient retention force of the spindle clamping mechanism could lead to reduced rigidity and vibrations, loss of machining quality, poor surface finish and shortened tool life. To help solve this problem, we have developed Dyna Force, a device for measuring the retention force of machine tool spindles.

When it comes to boring, there are several factors that can lead to poor performance. Whether it’s long cycle times, short tool life or poor bore quality, any or all these factors may need to be addressed in order to increase productivity. Although different, these issues are often closely linked in a given application.

Discover what tool presetters are, why they matter, when to use them and how to choose the best one for your shop.

Considering we deal in some of the smallest parts and pieces in the machining world, we fully understand that your results will be only as strong as your weakest link.

After years of close observation and collaboration with manufacturing companies of all sizes, BIG DAISHOWA Seiki engineers have learned how the choice of tool holders affects production costs on the shop floor.

Using MEGA Synchro tapping holders, a metal components manufacturer shortens cycle time by 200%.

Boring tool performance depends greatly on the Length-to-Diameter (L:D) Ratio of the application. While this is a straightforward calculation, the Length and Diameter values to be used may not be that clear.

There’s more than one way to make holes, but some approaches are better than others. Working with customers from across every industry, our team gets to see what works and what doesn’t. These are a few of the interesting questions—and unexpected answers.
