BIG DAISHOWA has introduced the new, large diameter Kaiser 318 Series - a complete tooling system supporting a variety of aluminum and steel components optimized for twin cutter rough boring, precision finish boring and precision OD turning operations.

See the benefits of BIG DAISHOWA's premium tooling play out with the new Speed Finisher face mill for aluminum or cast iron.

As part of a growing offering of turning solutions, BIG DAISHOWA announces the release of the Smart Damper boring bar for lathe applications.

The SWS Rough Boring Head is a twin-cutter boring head that allows for diameter adjustments without a tool measurement unit.

CNC machine tool efficiency is all about managing the components that must come together in proper alignment: the machine spindle, toolholder assembly and workspace.

The importance of meticulously prepping, starting, and finishing holes can’t be emphasized enough.

The limitations of using milling tools to prepare holes for finishing become apparent as hole depth and volume increase. Enter the relatively simple and affordable twin cutter, which can solve this and virtually any other holemaking problem.

Moldmakers hoping to avoid problems such as chatter, poor tool life and molds that fail quality control muster need to consider a variety of factors when selecting a long-reach toolholder.

Manufacturing miniature parts and features is not new. In the past, EDM and laser technologies were used to create these features. Although these technologies worked for low volume jobs, they are not practical for the high volume micro applications that are in demand today.

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.  

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

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

Adjusting screws are not just a simple set screw. They are a screw with a purpose—three actually.

Everyone wants to get the most out of their tool holders. While some may take a set it and forget it approach with holders, it’s not recommended, as they have a direct impact on both parts and machinery. Here are some tips to ensure your holders deliver.

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.
