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.

In a recently published article in Manufacturing Engineering, BIG KAISER contributes to the conversations of the evolution of five-axis machines.

Jack Burley, VP of Sales and Engineering at BIG KAISER shared his knowledge to Fabricating & Metalworking magazine for options targeted to make positive impacts on vibration without breaking the bank.

Vibration in a turning operation can be maddening. It leads to results that can be oh so close, yet so far away. It’s difficult to diagnose the cause.

In a move to expand BIG KAISER’s existing carbide cutting tool lineup of pilot/spotting drills, high-performance drills, deep-hole drills, drill reamers and micro end mills, BIG KAISER looked to one of its global partners to introduce new micro engraving cutters.

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.

In reaching impressive variable rotational speeds that exceed 100,000 RPMs, BIG KAISER’s newest air-driven spindle brings a trial-approved promise to reduce machining time by more than 300 percent in certain setups.

Within our comprehensive suite of tooling solutions, we often talk in generalizations about different “buckets,” or tooling categories.
