NASCAR teams are very meticulous in what they do – always on the lookout for ways to be more productive in their machining processes to improve their cars.

Considering we deal in some of the smallest parts and pieces in the machining world, we fully understand that your results will be only as strong as your weakest link.

Before you read any further, we suggest you go back and read Part 1 of this two-part post.

While we specialize in holders, we do offer some specialized cutters with these materials and often get questions about PCD and CBN inserts. Here we tackle some of the most frequently asked questions.

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.

The is no general rule to cutting tool shank insertion as a multiplier for shank diameter. All tool holder types have different requirements.

Shrink-fit and hydraulic holders are both useful in low clearance, tight work envelopes found in moldmaking and multi-axis machining applications. When deciding which one to use, their differences will guide your choice. Here are some of the fundamental contrasts to help you decide which holder type is best for your work.

Fine boring heads provide high-precision finishing options for many applications, however, fine boring can be a delicate operation that can go awry. Check out these troubleshooting tips.

For manufacturers using milling chucks, pullout is a major issue, particularly when machining HRSA’s such as titanium or inconel.

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.

BIG KAISER is BIG in supporting education. Nowadays, you hear so much in the manufacturing community that there are fewer students able to work in manufacturing as a result of lacking in skills.

BIG DAISHOWA has introduced a new, high-precision hydraulic chuck for clamping straight shank tools with diameters ¼" to 1¼" and 6mm to 32mm.
