If you purchase cheap dual contact tooling after being told by a supplier that it will work just as good as the original you risk unsatisfactory performance.

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.

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.

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

Ensure long machine tool, cutting tool and tool holder life while reducing stress on your spindle with the ATC Alignment Tool from BIG DAISHOWA.

The BIG DAISHOWA SPHINX drill series includes more than 2,000 different drills under 3 mm in diameter as standard. With a range of 0.05 to 3 mm diameters.

Dyna Contact is a precise gage used to check the geometric accuracy of a machine spindle taper by visually comparing the contact of the gage to the spindle.

BIG DAISHOWA's HSK-A125 tooling system, for machines such as Makino's T2 and T4 models, is the ideal solution for the aerospace industry – capable of tackling large-scale titanium and other workpieces on massive tables.

To make their cars as light and aerodynamic as possible, Team Penske’s shop performs delicate work milling aluminum, titanium and steel.

Bicycles are one of the oldest modes of transportation, but that doesn’t mean they haven’t evolved with the times.

By ensuring that the retention force is at the correct level, cutting performance remains consistent, providing high-quality machining results.

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.

Tool holders play a critical role in connecting elements maximizing machining performance, however, several different styles are available and the most suitable one will depend on the operation.

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.
