Purchasing an offline tool presetter for the first time can be daunting.

If you’re looking for fast, easy return on investment, improving tool life is one of the best options a metalworking operation has.

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

Discover what tool presetters are, why they matter, when to use them and how to choose the best one for your shop.

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.

Choosing the right tool for the job transforms results through higher productivity, consistent quality and greater profitability.

Cutting corners on tool holder quality can have major downstream consequences. Learn why and how to prevent issues in your facility.

After years of close observation and collaboration with manufacturing companies of all sizes, BIG DAISHOWA Seiki engineers have learned how the choice of tool holders affects production costs on the shop floor.

The first challenge to machinability – beyond simply working in titanium – for Colorado-based Cogitic Corporation was securing the cylinder in the universal machining center. It was also important to maintain access to the through-hole, which has an internal square key slot perpendicular to the stem hole.

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

Runout is one of the sneakier issues machinists and tool managers must deal with. It’s almost impossible to recognize in-process and difficult to diagnose after the fact. We identify potential sources.

Machinery tooling and equipment that get parts produced the fastest is always the best choice, right? But what else needs to be considered when choosing equipment for low- to mid-range production volumes?

Anyone who’s made holes understands the difficulties that can arise: vibration, wander and even breakage. When it comes to production-level volume, these issues become even more limiting. Many turn to helical interpolation with a mill as a reliable way to rough out holes. We’re here to tell you there’s a faster, easier option.

Just because you buy inexpensive tooling doesn’t mean you’re saving money. Invest in your tooling and experience the economy of quality.

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.
