The sixth annual International Technology Tour will take place at manufacturing facilities in central Japan from April 18 to 25, 2020.

This holiday season you can give your favorite manufacturing skills training program a free high-precision boring head kit from BIG KAISER.

We’ve built our name on tool holders, boring tools, cutting tools and specialized solutions for the everyday and most demanding machining operations. You may be surprised to learn we have deep expertise in lathe tooling as well. We have to. Lathes are critical to the development and production of our tools.

Consistent accuracy is the name of the game when it comes to tool presetters. The best way to ensure you can keep faith in your presetter, just like any other piece of machinery, is to perform regular maintenance.

Chattering and deflection have always been the bane of machinists’ existence, so much so that the sight of a long and slender tool holder will immediately cause goosebumps. If you understand why a long tool holder behaves the way it does, you’ll know that there are ways to fight back against this bending.

Earlier this month, we hosted nearly 80 students from two local high schools for Manufacturing Day. Held on the first Friday in October, Manufacturing Day allows students to see first-hand the reality of modern-day manufacturing careers.

When defining tooling requirements for a new project, oftentimes standard tooling is all that is needed. Other times, custom or special tooling is required. Explore the role each has in today’s manufacturing environment.

Using inexpensive spindle, taper and bore cleaners is an effective way to keep your machine tools performing their best.
