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.

Maintenance is really important and kind of a pain. When it comes to all-important spindle maintenance, you can avoid the pain by using simple tools and devices.

Learn how to evaluate precision tooling quality with expert tips on AT tolerance, tool components, and manufacturing processes to improve accuracy, performance and cost efficiency in machining.

When it comes to boring, there are several factors that can lead to poor performance. Whether it’s long cycle times, short tool life or poor bore quality, any or all these factors may need to be addressed in order to increase productivity. Although different, these issues are often closely linked in a given application.

Insufficient retention force of the spindle clamping mechanism could lead to reduced rigidity and vibrations, loss of machining quality, poor surface finish and shortened tool life. To help solve this problem, we have developed Dyna Force, a device for measuring the retention force of machine tool spindles.

One of the most impactful tools in the BIG DAISHOWA suite of products is often overlooked. It’s durable and has all the best features for those looking to save time making hard-to-reach cuts. We’re talking about our AGU30 Universal Type Angle Heads.

After researching presetters for eight years—including four trips to IMTS—CEO Ronda Peterson knew it was the time to invest in the next level of efficiency for her shop.

Charlie Mitchell, machinist for Andretti Autosport, spent up to eight hours setting up his five-axis machine with 10 tools to run 30 to 40 different processes on a part. Using UNILOCK pallets, set-ups times are 70 to 80 percent shorter.

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

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.

We wrote the book on boring. Truth be told, the book was written a long time ago by Kaiser, and now you can get your own copy.

When it comes to dialing in an ER system’s performance to match a specific application’s requirements or long life, there are three components to consider: the collet, the body of the holder and the nut.

If pictures speak 1,000 words, videos must speak about 10,000. Check out the quick clip below showing our Speroni MAGIC CNC tool presetting system in action.
