Accurate offsets and workpiece reference points are critical to effective setups and first-part accuracy. Taking a manual approach or attempting to verify these in the machine without the right measuring devices can be a delicate and time-consuming process.

Good measurements make setups faster, reduce recuts and identify potential spindle or holder issues before they become bigger problems. Let’s look at a few of the key areas to measure and the handy solutions available.  

Machining at higher speeds can save time and money, however, increasing the speed also means increasing the inherent risk in the situation. To maximize speed potential, a holistic approach that considers tool, holder, machine and operator is essential.

Using inexpensive spindle, taper and bore cleaners is an effective way to keep your machine tools performing their best.

There comes a point when we must ask if it is time to replace or repair equipment. Consider these factors when you're faced with that decision.

In order to easily compare our line-up of products, we’ve pulled together a helpful graphic that displays the features and functions of each product.

Machine shops of all shapes and sizes are facing more pressure than ever. While its primary purpose has traditionally been tool setup, tool presetters serve as both important tools and information hubs on the floor as technology advances.

When one variable can make an impact on the result, as in metalworking, it’s a good idea to eliminate as many as possible. Each BIG DAISHOWA part is built to fit precisely and work specifically within each finished product.

Because of the popularity of BIG-PLUS, many tooling companies, without a proper license, offer what they call dual-contact tooling. But not all dual-contact is the same. Let’s tackle a few of the most common misconceptions.

No matter what, a new machine represents a significant cost in a manufacturing project. This investment can be compromised if it is not tooled up properly.

Presetters have evolved. Powerful PC-based, touchscreen controls can connect to other important components and systems across an entire metalworking business. This connectivity allows for the fast, accurate exchange of data.

Whether you're performing rough boring operations or precision finishing work, there are a lot of considerations that go into the job. Starting with the right boring head is the first order of business, and there are several considerations to make an informed decision.
