Ansonia Manufacturing, the only machine shop in the town of Sonoma, California, discovered the EWN2-32ExER32 boring head and used it to complete a tricky hardware component job for a “live” glass art sculpture.
The full radial contact and extreme gripping force of Hi-Power Milling Chucks delivers the stability needed to increase spindle speeds by 20 percent in one application at Team Penske.
Boring tool performance depends greatly on the Length-to-Diameter (L:D) Ratio of the application. While this is a straightforward calculation, the Length and Diameter values to be used may not be that clear.
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.
Milling is a core operation in all kinds of manufacturing environments. Here are five different types of milling holders, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. We’re here to help you choose with a breakdown and tips for using each.
Current travel and visitor restrictions continue to disrupt the normal schedule of service calls to manufacturers. To keep our customers up and running, the BIG KAISER Tool Measuring Solutions Department offers remote maintenance sessions.
Machining vibration disrupts efficiency, reduces tool life and damages part finishes. Solving it isn’t easy as causes are varied and interconnected. Discover strategies to tackle vibration for better results.
There are many advantages to turning (pun intended) to an underutilized operation that virtually every machining center is capable of: OD turning — otherwise known as “outer diameter turning”, “pin turning”, or “boss milling”.
