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.

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.

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.

BIG DAISHOWA introduces a series of new micro engraving cutters developed and built by their partner SPHINX (Derendingen, Switzerland).

Here are some insights into the extra care and know-how needed to achieve success and build a successful reputation as a reliable supplier of micro machined parts.

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.

The medical industry pushes the limits of precision for machining and tools. The trend toward less-invasive surgery using smaller parts translates to a need to better control the preci­sion and tolerances of micromachining processes.

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.

As cutting tool manufacturers increase the recommended operating conditions for their products, users achieve the desired result: shorter cycle times on existing machine tools.

The Affordable Care Act is changing how we access and consume medical services.

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.

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

Many machine shops lack objective criteria for making toolholder purchasing decisions & most are made by price alone. However they can improve runout significantly by using the right toolholders.
