A lot of conflicting information has circulated about balancing tools over the years. Let's clear some things up and make life a little easier for you.

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.

BIG KAISER expands jet-through hydraulic chuck line to include the BCV interface and additional inch sizes.

Shrink-fit and hydraulic holders are both useful in low clearance, tight work envelopes found in moldmaking and multi-axis machining applications. When deciding which one to use, their differences will guide your choice. Here are some of the fundamental contrasts to help you decide which holder type is best for your work.

To make their cars as light and aerodynamic as possible, Team Penske’s shop performs delicate work milling aluminum, titanium and steel.

BIG KAISER, a global leader in premium high-precision tooling systems and solutions for the metalworking industries, announces its HDC Straight Shank holder to the market, used for increased versatility.

Keeping pace with modern manufacturing demands often means bridging the gap between design and production. Creative and resourceful applications of tooling and accessories, such as angle heads, can get complex parts out the door.

BIG KAISER’s MEGA New Baby Chuck is now available up to ø1" clamping for drills, reamers and finishing end mills with .00004" runout accuracy.

When setting up a tapping operation with a collet chuck, consider a new tap holder designed specifically to mitigate the load imposed on the tap by essentially absorbing synchronization error.

BIG KAISER’s Mega ER Grip was designed to outperform all standard ER systems in the four most critical areas of tool holder performance: clamping force, concentricity, rigidity and balance at high spindle speeds.
