BIG KAISER offers one of the most complete line ups of boring tools in the world. Our experts share some of their favorite tips and resources.

We wrote the book on boring. Truth be told, the book was written a long time ago by Kaiser, and now you can get your own copy.

BIG KAISER Precision Tooling has released two new insert chip-breaker types designed to improve surface finish in long-chipping materials.

Boring tool performance depends greatly on the Length-to-Diameter (L:D) Ratio of the application. While this is a straightforward calculation, the Length and Diameter values to be used may not be that clear.

Matching lead angle to the application is just as important to quality and productivity requirements as other modular boring tool components.

Large part batches? Tight bore tolerances? Deep-hole boring or any requirement combination in-between, select the right boring head for getting each and every job done right the first time.

Lead angles close to 90° more effectively combat potentially damaging chatter and vibration because they apply the least amount of radial pressure.

There’s more than one way to finish a hole. The most effective option will depend on the number of parts, acceptable cycle time and tolerance callouts.

When making holes it can be difficult to decide between reaming or boring. Which way is actually faster?

Insert holders on most Series 310 boring heads can be mounted upside down to perform precision back boring operations.
