In this business, doing it right the first time is like money in the bank: less scrap, less wasted time, more on-time deliveries, the list goes on and on.

Usually recognized as a supplier to the metalworking industry, BIG KAISER is of course also a manufacturing company, facing similar challenges and opportunities as the customers we serve.

BIG DAISHOWA’s tool measuring systems are reliable, efficient and now portable, with the release of the Dyna Line Portable.

In an effort to capitalize on the success of Steven Covey’s bestseller, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, we thought we could do Mr. Covey one better with the 8 Habits of Highly Effective Boring.

BIG DAISHOWA’s MEGA NEW BABY CHUCK has been delivering extreme precision for more than 20 years and is now available with up to ø1″ clamping for drills, reamers and finishing end mills with .00004″ runout accuracy.

They may be small, but we understand that our high-performance Sphinx tools play a big role in keeping spindles spinning and revenue flowing.

Making a hole with very tight tolerances is often a two-part process. When starting from scratch, a drill is used first to create the hole.

MoldMaking Technology has published a series of blog posts from four BIG DAISHOWA presentations. Read on for a recap of each post.

Machine tool accessories like chip fans and T-slot covers can have a significant impact on machine performance and production.

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.

Insufficient retention force of the spindle clamping mechanism could lead to reduced rigidity and vibrations, loss of machining quality, poor surface finish and shortened tool life. To help solve this problem, we have developed Dyna Force, a device for measuring the retention force of machine tool spindles.

The precision and ruggedness of KAISER modular boring tools deliver measurable performance advantages by reducing costs and cycle times, all while allowing the flexibility and versatility to upgrade boring tools to meet today’s demanding requirements.
