Many shops are unaware that a lot of their spindles are BIG-PLUS, so they don’t realize the capabilities they possess.

Tapping is an efficient way to create threads in a drilled hole and it makes the overall machining process easier. Burley goes on to discuss this in further detail by emphasizing how tapping has changed within the industry over the years.

This topic is important as toolholders provide the critical connection between a machine spindle and the cutting tool.

At the BIG Daishowa Mega Technical Center in Japan, we’re able to test very specific cutting conditions in precision-controlled environments.

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.

While more and more shops begin performing micromachining, cut specifications get smaller and smaller.

It’s a good sign when a customer asks a shop to ramp up production of a current part. It means more revenue. It’s validation of the work that’s been done.

You need to look at a milling machine as a whole system. There are multiple, integral parts that all need to work together.

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.
