Selecting the appropriate pilot drill is critical to maximize performance and tool life of a succeeding deep hole or micro drill.

When using a high-performance drill, we do not recommend turning on coolant until the drill is inside a 1-2xD deep pilot hole.

Runout can be fickle, but finding a solution for it can pay significant dividends. How a little wobble can really increase your costs.

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.

Micromachining, cutting where the volume of chips produced with each tool path is very small, is not a high-speed operation in relation to chip load per tooth. Rather, it involves a high spindle speed due to cutter diameter. The part may be physically larger, but details of the part require ultra-small profiles achieved only by micromachining. In other words, micromachining is not limited in scope to only miniature parts.

BIG KAISER expands its product line, bringing the highest quality, most precise, most reliable and most accurate tooling and accessory products to market.

The Sphinx Drinox Pilot Step Drill delivers up to three times longer tool life, three times higher coolant-through output and three times faster drilling.

The Nirox high-performance drill from SPHINX was developed for use at low cutting speeds in unstable environments.

BIG DAISHOWA introduces the newest addition to its SPHINX micro drill line. The new drill, made of fine-grained solid carbide, delivers exceptional tool life and consistent process reliability.

Customers often get caught in a price war between cutting tool suppliers by attempting to reduce their total upfront investment in tooling.

Did you know Sphinx offers 3 unique drill/reamer geometries capable of drilling from a solid while achieving H7-H9 hole tolerance with exceptionally good surface finish?

A lot of conflicting information has circulated about balancing tools over the years. Let's clear some things up and make life a little easier for you.

This new micro deep-hole drill from BIG DAISHOWA’s Sphinx line provides a time-saving option for creating wire EDM starter holes, averaging 5X faster per hole according to testing.

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

Shrink-fit and hydraulic holders are both useful in low clearance, tight work envelopes found in moldmaking and multi-axis machining applications. When deciding which one to use, their differences will guide your choice. Here are some of the fundamental contrasts to help you decide which holder type is best for your work.
