As a raw material, tungsten carbide is a limited natural resource and a widely popular tool material due to its hardness and heat resistance. We can both save money by reducing the consumption of carbide and help our environment by fully utilizing every tool before recycling the rest.

You don’t have to reorganize your shop, reinvent your processes or invest in expensive machinery to eliminate inefficiencies.

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.

Thinking of buying shrink-fit holders? Read this before making a decision.

Maintenance is really important and kind of a pain. When it comes to all-important spindle maintenance, you can avoid the pain by using simple tools and devices.

The further the tool does its work from the spindle, the more room for error. Deep pockets and cavities usually signify that a part is nearing completion, making the smallest of errors almost impossible to recover from and very costly.

Have you had a chance to read our recent article that appears in the Fabricating & Metalworking Magazine? Alan Miller, informs readers about different ways to absorb synchronization error.

While most can’t invest in transformative capital equipment without months of planning and of course extensive cost, workholding is a different story.

BIG KAISER’s digital precision boring heads, from Swiss partner KAISER were part of a case study alongside Impact CNC in the September issue of Modern Machine Shop.

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.

The Twin Cutter’s ability to take on heavier cuts allows shops to be more efficient.

The first challenge to machinability – beyond simply working in titanium – for Colorado-based Cogitic Corporation was securing the cylinder in the universal machining center. It was also important to maintain access to the through-hole, which has an internal square key slot perpendicular to the stem hole.

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.

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.
