Even in the cleanest, you-can-eat-off-the-floor machine shops, the reality is that at all times, chips are flying, smoke is forming and coolant is spraying.

Micromachining, cutting where the volume of chips produced with each tool path is very small, is not a high-speed operation in relation to chip load per tooth. Rather, it involves a high spindle speed due to cutter diameter. The part may be physically larger, but details of the part require ultra-small profiles achieved only by micromachining. In other words, micromachining is not limited in scope to only miniature parts.

In order to take full advantage of a machine tool's capabilities, you must have the tooling to unlock a machine’s full capability. Here is some advice for making the most of a new machine tool with the right tooling.

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

There’s more than one way to skin a CAT…or should we say HSK in this case.

There’s a lot to consider when deciding how to tool up a new machine. Committing to a thorough tooling selection upfront is vital. Think about your tooling and machine tool as a symbiotic partnership: what affects one affects the other.

BIG KAISER has announced the smallest precision finish boring head on the market—for use on micro-milling machines with high-speed spindles.

To achieve efficient tool life, proper finish and productivity in high-speed work, tool holders need to be as rigid, compact and short as possible to keep the whole assembly stable. Here's what you need to know when choosing a high-speed tool holder.
