BIG KAISER Precision Tooling Inc. is celebrating its 30th anniversary. On August 1, 1990, KPT Kaiser opened its doors and began its mission to make Kaiser CKB modular boring tools, developed in Switzerland, the leader in the North American market.
BIG KAISER is open for business and ready to support you. Our North America headquarters in Hoffman Estates, IL, is maintaining and shipping inventory to all OEMs and manufacturers throughout the United States.
Most machinists are familiar with the dilemma of having an otherwise capable, accurate machine on the shop floor that, unfortunately, is limited in terms of spindle RPM. When that inevitable job arises that requires higher RPM output, operators are left with the choice of replacing the machine altogether to gain higher productivity, or looking into an attachment, like a spindle speeder, to close the RPM gap.
As lathes and turning machines pivot toward quick-change tooling models from traditional stick tools, presetters present benefits of keeping chips flying while reducing human error and increasing precision.
BIG KAISER Precision Tooling's popular Tool Pro tool assembly device just became even more versatile with the addition of a new quick change BIG CAPTO adapter designed for the assembly, disassembly and repair of BIG CAPTO tooling.
Jack Burley, president and COO of BIG KAISER, shares some of his observations over the years, predictions for the industry and his vision for the company.
