When it comes to boring, there are several factors that can lead to poor performance. Whether it’s long cycle times, short tool life or poor bore quality, any or all these factors may need to be addressed in order to increase productivity. Although different, these issues are often closely linked in a given application.

Ansonia Manufacturing, the only machine shop in the town of Sonoma, California, discovered the EWN2-32ExER32 boring head and used it to complete a tricky hardware component job for a “live” glass art sculpture.

The Twin Cutter’s ability to take on heavier cuts allows shops to be more efficient.

This message does not mean there is an error or accuracy malfunction with the boring head.

Even among experienced machinists, choosing the right insert for boring a hole remains a difficult process that is fraught with myth and misconception. However, it is no myth that insert selection can completely save or kill performance on an application.

"I just received my 112 Series Digital boring head, and the backlash is terrible! How do I return this head for a standard dial type?" Not so fast! Do you have a boring bar clamped in the head yet?

The Mini Indexable Boring Bar helps meet the increasing demand for successfully boring small parts in industries like medical and aerospace, such as machined medical implant devices and micro-sized components.

Do not make diameter adjustments on BIG KAISER EWD/EWE digital boring heads unless a boring bar is clamped in the boring head.

The EWE boring head connects to BIG KAISER’s user-friendly smartphone and tablet app, making it easier to monitor and configure the head while assembling and running boring tools.

John Saunders, a machinist and shop owner known for running the most popular YouTube channel on CNC machining, used his platform to speak about BIG KAISER’s Digital Boring Head, a tool that is known for machining thousands of holes with absolute precision.
