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.  

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.

Purchasing an offline tool presetter for the first time can be daunting.

Just because you buy inexpensive tooling doesn’t mean you’re saving money. Invest in your tooling and experience the economy of quality.

Dialing in a finishing job can be meticulous, with several measurements, adjustments and discussions taking place.

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

Accurate offsets and workpiece reference points are critical to effective setups and first-part accuracy. Taking a manual approach or attempting to verify these in the machine without the right measuring devices can be a delicate and time-consuming process.

We wrote the book on boring. Truth be told, the book was written a long time ago by Kaiser, and now you can get your own copy.

Using helical interpolation to open holes is common practice. And in shallow holes or one-off projects, it’s a fine choice.

No matter what, a new machine represents a significant cost in a manufacturing project. This investment can be compromised if it is not tooled up properly.

Here are a few tool and part holding considerations for getting the most out of a mill-turn machine.

There comes a point when we must ask if it is time to replace or repair equipment. Consider these factors when you're faced with that decision.
