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.

Because the BIG-PLUS spindle system gets so much of our customers’ attention and interest, people often forget that BIG DAISHOWA offers an extensive line-up of other popular dual contact solutions, most notably HSK & BIG CAPTO.

Chattering and deflection have always been the bane of machinists’ existence, so much so that the sight of a long and slender tool holder will immediately cause goosebumps. If you understand why a long tool holder behaves the way it does, you’ll know that there are ways to fight back against this bending.

Struggling to meet customer expectations, a small change made a big difference to one shop.

Why isn't your BIG-PLUS spindle system performing to the best of its abilities?

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.

CAT tool holders are shop-floor workhorses. See how this tool holder stays relevant, what sets it apart and how to choose the right setup.

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.

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.

A machine’s spindle is one of the key links in the machining chain. It makes regular inspection and spindle maintenance critical to getting the most out of your equipment and maintain process efficiency.

Discover the advantages of using a modular tooling system and what makes BIG DAISHOWA modular components unique.

When choosing a tool holder, you want consistent results and long service life. Check out these considerations for rigid, consistent and durable tool holders.

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.

Discover how the right tool holder solved serious cutting challenges from reducing runout and streamlining operations to enabling efficiency and boosting part quality.

Machining vibration disrupts efficiency, reduces tool life and damages part finishes. Solving it isn’t easy as causes are varied and interconnected. Discover strategies to tackle vibration for better results.
