MoldMaking Technology has published a series of blog posts from four BIG DAISHOWA presentations. Read on for a recap of each post.

In-machine laser technology is touted by machine tool builders and distributors as the way of the future and an indispensable tool for machinists. Do you really need an offline presetter if you have in-machine lasers?

Small efficiency advantages multiplied over many cycles can have dramatic impacts on the bottom line, so it’s important to seek creative approaches.

When used together with a machine that delivers on speed and accuracy, ChipFan and T-Slot Clean help machines reach maximum levels of productivity—even during downtime.

Choosing the right tool holder for the right work is clearly of critical importance to successful metalworking performances.

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.

The presetting machines available today are accurate, easy to use and provide closed-loop tool compensation on the CNC machine tool, saving significant time during job change-over.

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.

The SPERONI SPI is the newest of BIG DAISHOWA's Industry 4.0 upgrades to its offering of tool presetting solutions. SPI dramatically reduces the time and steps needed to transfer precise and accurate tool measurements to a machine tool.

Even though it has been around forever, does the vise have limitations for shops in a competitive marketplace? Do you need to reinvent the wheel to reduce some of its limitations? To evaluate the vise’s viability in today’s manufacturing operations, we need to uncover the most efficient way to apply it.

Five-axis roughing can be painstaking. Pairing the right holder with the right cutter can save serious time while cutting and when setting up -- and eliminate those pain points.

Cheater bars are appropriately named, especially when it comes to tightening tool holders. We see the common pipes that are often added to the end of wrenches to achieve more torque in customers’ shops all the time. And while these makeshift wrenches may make tightening or loosening holders easier, the damage they can cause is often overlooked.

When it comes to securely and accurately situating material on a machine table, there’s often more than one way to get the job done. With that in mind, consider these fundamental factors before purchasing new workholding.
