You may already be aware of our BIG KAISER Manufacturing Representative’s expert knowledge and experience with BIG KAISER products but, did you know BIG KAISER has a deep reservoir with decades of professional experience in high precision tooling, workholding and tool management within our own house?

Sphinx product manager, Cory Cetkovic, once again took to the pages of Fabricating & Metalworking magazine to share some useful knowledge about micro machining practices, a challenging yet profitable and growing sector of metalworking.

Reporting on Sphinx product manager, Cory Cetkovic’s presentation at our annual Breakfast & Learn event earlier this year, Production Machining recently published a column called “Tools and Technologies for Deep Hole Drilling.”

Opportunities abound for shops to cash in on the ever-growing micro machining market, but the differences between different types of micro tools vary from those found in standard tooling. Here are some insights into the extra care and know-how needed to achieve success and build a successful reputation as a reliable supplier of micro machined parts.

It’s that time of year again! Time for the eggs to crack and the casseroles to bake. Time for the BIG KAISER training room projector bulb to get changed and for the showroom to get a quick updating of display tools.

Manufacturing miniature parts and features is not new. In the past, EDM and laser technologies were used to create these features. Although these technologies worked for low volume jobs, they are not practical for the high volume micro applications that are in demand today.

The advances in multi-axis machining in recent years have unlocked the creativity of machine shop engineers and operators.

Making a hole with very tight tolerances is often a two-part process. When starting from scratch, a drill is used first to create the hole.

The BIG KAISER Sphinx drill series includes more than 2,000 different drills under 3 mm in diameter as standard. With a range of 0.05 to 3 mm diameters.

The next round of Focus Products promotions are now live. From now through August 31, we will feature special deals on the KAISER EWD family of digital boring heads, as well as Mega Synchro Tapping Holders from BIG Daishowa.
