We wrote the book on boring. Truth be told, the book was written a long time ago by Kaiser, and now you can get your own copy.

Boring tool performance depends greatly on the Length-to-Diameter (L:D) Ratio of the application. While this is a straightforward calculation, the Length and Diameter values to be used may not be that clear.

Matching lead angle to the application is just as important to quality and productivity requirements as other modular boring tool components.

Large part batches? Tight bore tolerances? Deep-hole boring or any requirement combination in-between, select the right boring head for getting each and every job done right the first time.

When it comes to boring, there are several factors that can lead to poor performance. Whether it’s long cycle times, short tool life or poor bore quality, any or all these factors may need to be addressed in order to increase productivity. Although different, these issues are often closely linked in a given application.

Ansonia Manufacturing, the only machine shop in the town of Sonoma, California, discovered the EWN2-32ExER32 boring head and used it to complete a tricky hardware component job for a “live” glass art sculpture.

The Twin Cutter’s ability to take on heavier cuts allows shops to be more efficient.

The EWE boring head connects to BIG KAISER’s user-friendly smartphone and tablet app, making it easier to monitor and configure the head while assembling and running boring tools.

John Saunders, a machinist and shop owner known for running the most popular YouTube channel on CNC machining, used his platform to speak about BIG KAISER’s Digital Boring Head, a tool that is known for machining thousands of holes with absolute precision.
