The Twin Cutter’s ability to take on heavier cuts allows shops to be more efficient.

We’ve built our name on tool holders, boring tools, cutting tools and specialized solutions for the everyday and most demanding machining operations. You may be surprised to learn we have deep expertise in lathe tooling as well. We have to. Lathes are critical to the development and production of our tools.

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.

We’ve seen and heard it all when it comes to boring holes. That said, there are always a few questions that pop up over and over. From optimizing modular boring assemblies to deciding between twin boring or high-feed milling, here’s some of our best boring advice.

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 five key factors to consider when selecting boring tools to improve performance, reduce costs and ensure part quality.

Understanding the mechanical behavior of each interface is critical when selecting the right spindle and tooling for milling applications.

We’re highlighting yet another new product this week that makes high performance and precision easier.

There are many advantages to turning (pun intended) to an underutilized operation that virtually every machining center is capable of: OD turning — otherwise known as “outer diameter turning”, “pin turning”, or “boss milling”.

BIG DAISHOWA’s MEGA NEW BABY CHUCK has been delivering extreme precision for more than 20 years and is now available with up to ø1″ clamping for drills, reamers and finishing end mills with .00004″ runout accuracy.

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

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

Safety in the shop involves careful handling of tooling. Get tips to help ensure tooling is set up properly, cared for and keeps your team safe.

Good measurements make setups faster, reduce recuts and identify potential spindle or holder issues before they become bigger problems. Let’s look at a few of the key areas to measure and the handy solutions available.  

Struggling to meet customer expectations, a small change made a big difference to one shop.
