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.

Chattering and deflection have always been the bane of machinists’ existence, so much so that the sight of a long and slender tool holder will immediately cause goosebumps. If you understand why a long tool holder behaves the way it does, you’ll know that there are ways to fight back against this bending.

Common boring mistakes that are costing you time & money—and how to fix them

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. That not only costs time, but those tool touches and interactions introduce some risk inside a shop. Our next boring innovation will help eliminate many of those repeated interactions and extra adjustments.

With thousands of part numbers to choose from, product selection can be a bit overwhelming. Take a look at some overlooked products and services that can help guarantee higher performance for your shop. 

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

Nowhere else is the concept of cost-efficiency more intensely analyzed than in the cut-throat world of manufacturing, and for good reason.

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.
