Without the right tool holder, difficult conditions create the perfect storm for chatter, poor tool life and failing quality control molds.

Charlie Mitchell, machinist for Andretti Autosport, spent up to eight hours setting up his five-axis machine with 10 tools to run 30 to 40 different processes on a part. Using UNILOCK pallets, set-ups times are 70 to 80 percent shorter.

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.

Anyone who’s made holes understands the difficulties that can arise: vibration, wander and even breakage. When it comes to production-level volume, these issues become even more limiting. Many turn to helical interpolation with a mill as a reliable way to rough out holes. We’re here to tell you there’s a faster, easier option.

When it comes to boring operations, learn when to use a ground chip-breaker vs. a molded chip-breaker.

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

There may have been a time when good enough was good enough, but in today’s competitive metalworking market, good enough won’t cut it.

BIG DAISHOWA introduces a new small-diameter indexable rough boring solution for a range not previously available.

BIG DAISHOWA introduces the Mega Perfect Grip, a simple to handle, heavy-duty milling chuck for heat resistant super alloys (HRSA) that eliminates end mill pullout under heavy torque loads.

BIG DAISHOWA’s Mega ER Grip was designed to outperform all standard ER systems in the four most critical areas of tool holder performance: clamping force, concentricity, rigidity and balance at high spindle speeds.
