The manufacturing process of boring is enlarging a hole in a piece of metal. Different kinds of boring tools are available for boring operations.

Manufacturing miniature parts and features is not new. In the past, EDM and laser technologies were used to create these features. Although these technologies worked for low volume jobs, they are not practical for the high volume micro applications that are in demand today.

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

In the precision, no-room-for-error world of aerospace, manufacturers need sophisticated tool presetting like airplanes need wings.

Otto Martin Maschinenbau GmbH & Co. KG has been manufacturing woodworking machinery since 1922. They know a thing or two about precision tools.

Choosing the right tool for the job transforms results through higher productivity, consistent quality and greater profitability.

Overall gripping strength increases as you increase the size of your tool holders (when looking at the same type of holder).

Cheater bars are appropriately named, especially when it comes to tightening tool holders. We see the common pipes that are often added to the end of wrenches to achieve more torque in customers’ shops all the time. And while these makeshift wrenches may make tightening or loosening holders easier, the damage they can cause is often overlooked.

The return on investment from digital boring comes from the time saved making adjustments on the spindle, as well as the increased adjustment accuracy.

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

Five-axis roughing can be painstaking. Pairing the right holder with the right cutter can save serious time while cutting and when setting up -- and eliminate those pain points.

In a recently published article in Manufacturing Engineering, BIG KAISER contributes to the conversations of the evolution of five-axis machines.
