The Nirox high-performance drill from Sphinx was developed for use at low cutting speeds in unstable environments.

Choose best-in-class cutting tools, tool holders, tool presetters and workholding products from BIG KAISER and support the National Robotics League (NRL) at the same time. From Nov. 1 to Dec. 31, 2020, BIG KAISER will donate 2 percent of every order from an NTMA member company directly to the NRL program.

BIG KAISER Precision Tooling announces the promotion of Jack Burley to President/Chief Operating Officer as of January 1, 2021.

By using digital technology and optimized indexable inserts, Schmauser Müller Metalltechnik has increased process reliability and efficiency in fine boring, as well as increased the lifetime of its tools by a factor of three.

BIG KAISER Precision Tooling is expanding its offering of digital boring heads to include head sizes down to the CKB1 modular tooling connection size, which means boring down to Ø.787” for Series 310 peripheric heads, and Ø.016” for Series 112 centric boring heads.

Even though it has been around forever, does the vise have limitations for shops in a competitive marketplace? Do you need to reinvent the wheel to reduce some of its limitations? To evaluate the vise’s viability in today’s manufacturing operations, we need to uncover the most efficient way to apply it.

The SPERONI SPI is the newest of BIG KAISER's Industry 4.0 upgrades to its offering of tool presetting solutions. SPI dramatically reduces the time and steps needed to transfer precise and accurate tool measurements to a machine tool.

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.

Chamfering the entry and exit of 0.80mm to 6.00mm holes can be a tedious, time-consuming process. The Noventa from Sphinx can transform this process using an innovative geometry that improves cycle time, tool life and surface quality.

BIG KAISER Precision Tooling Inc. is celebrating its 30th anniversary. On August 1, 1990, KPT Kaiser opened its doors and began its mission to make Kaiser CKB modular boring tools, developed in Switzerland, the leader in the North American market.
