Tooling Today compiles technical topics, product insights, and tips and tricks for improving productivity and reducing scrap.

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.

Exciting improvements in automation are already on their way—higher productivity, increased safety, greater throughput and less scrap. Tool digitalization provides opportunities for production improvements, like our EWE digital fine boring tool. It displays the actual diameter of a tool, makes adjustments much simpler and faster, and reduces human error.

We break down different styles of small HSK holders available, as well as the suppliers who offer each type.

Sometimes our customers see our tool holder catalog numbers and ask us, "What is BBT and BCV?" Great question!

BIG DAISHOWA has launched the HMCJ, a super-slim milling chuck with peripheral coolant supply, designed to support heavy-duty and finish end milling tasks with power and precision using Ø1/2” or Ø12mm cutters.

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.

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?

Machine shops of all shapes and sizes are facing more pressure than ever. While its primary purpose has traditionally been tool setup, tool presetters serve as both important tools and information hubs on the floor as technology advances.

Aerospace is unique among industries in its thirst for component accuracy with ‘blemish-free’ precision. Unlike any other industry, anything that goes into the air has to be on spec, as the smallest imperfection in machining can adversely affect flight safety.

To achieve efficient tool life, proper finish and productivity in high-speed work, tool holders need to be as rigid, compact and short as possible to keep the whole assembly stable. Here's what you need to know when choosing a high-speed tool holder. 

When you invest in high-performance tooling, it’s just that—an investment. One that’s certain to pay back.

In the precision, no-room-for-error world of aerospace, manufacturers need sophisticated tool presetting like airplanes need wings.
