The advances in multi-axis machining in recent years have unlocked the creativity of machine shop engineers and operators.

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.

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?

Making a hole with very tight tolerances is often a two-part process. When starting from scratch, a drill is used first to create the hole.

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.

Smart Damper products are designed for deep-hole boring with BIG KAISER’s CKB modular boring system, and also for extended reach milling with both inch- and metric-pilot shell mills and face mills.

There are many advantages to turning (pun intended) to an underutilized operation that virtually every machining center is capable of: OD turning — otherwise known as “outer diameter turning”, “pin turning”, or “boss milling”.

When it comes to aerospace components, the slightest imperfection could be catastrophic. Our experts answer five questions about boring precision holes on aerospace parts.

There’s more than one way to skin a CAT…or should we say HSK in this case.

Nowhere else is the concept of cost-efficiency more intensely analyzed than in the cut-throat world of manufacturing, and for good reason.

Learn how we’ve adapted our tool holders to meet the coolant demands of modern-day machining.

If you’re looking for ways to improve productivity with micro cutting tools, here’s what you need to know.

There’s more than one way to finish a hole. The most effective option will depend on the number of parts, acceptable cycle time and tolerance callouts.
