As lathes and turning machines pivot toward quick-change tooling models from traditional stick tools, tool presetters present benefits of keeping chips flying while reducing human error and increasing precision.
BIG DAISHOWA is expanding its range of BIG Capto tool holders with the addition of a new size, C4, which is becoming increasingly popular as a quick-change system for turret tooling on lathes.
There are three particularly sensitive areas of the tool holder assembly that can experience process-affecting wear and tear and cause a cycle to change.
Cleanliness is key to achieving good runout control when assembling tool holders. Small particles or oil in a tool holder can cause large runout of the cutting tool, deceasing tool life and performance.
CNC machine tool efficiency is all about managing the components that must come together in proper alignment: the machine spindle, toolholder assembly and workspace.
BIG DAISHOWA has introduced the C3 program, an expansion of the BIG CAPTO tool holder line, designed to increase efficiency and precision for small lathes.
BIG DAISHOWA has introduced the new, large diameter Kaiser 318 Series - a complete tooling system supporting a variety of aluminum and steel components optimized for twin cutter rough boring, precision finish boring and precision OD turning operations.
