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”.
We’ve built our name on tool holders, boring tools, cutting tools and specialized solutions for the everyday and most demanding machining operations. You may be surprised to learn we have deep expertise in lathe tooling as well. We have to. Lathes are critical to the development and production of our tools.
When it comes to aerospace components, the slightest imperfection could be catastrophic. Our experts answer five questions about boring precision holes on aerospace parts.
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.
ID boring is a common and time-consuming operation on CNC lathes. Common issues have led to the development of world-class boring tools—traditionally used on milling machines—that have proven to be just as effective on a CNC lathe.
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.
