There are many advantages to turning (pun intended) to an underutilized operation that virtually every machining center is capable of: OD turning — otherwise known as “outer diameter turning”, “pin turning”, or “boss milling”.

Helical interpolation and rough boring are two ways to open holes in fracking-industry applications.

The KAISER 319 SW series is the latest addition to our twin cutter boring program.

With a little knowhow and the right tools, see how you can significantly reduce cycle time by rough boring instead of performing a helical interpolation with a mill.

Boring tools with a digital readout aren’t the standard in U.S. shops, but their use is growing.

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

BIG KAISER Precision Tooling Inc. has been adding digital boring head options since 2010, beginning with the Series 112 for small diameter finish boring.

There may have been a time when good enough was good enough, but in today’s competitive metalworking market, good enough won’t cut it.

Even in the most complex systems and machinery, problem-solving often boils down to correcting a single part, component or function.

Watch this brief video discussing the advantages of digital boring heads, such as the EWD 310 Series.
