Choose best-in-class cutting tools, tool holders and workholding products from BIG DAISHOWA and support your local manufacturing training programs at the same time.

From Nov. 1 to Dec. 30, Big Daishowa will donate a tooling certificate valued at 20 percent of every order from an NTMA member company to the buyer's school of choice.

"This is a way for us to support our partners and customers in NTMA and continue to show our commitment to workforce development," said Jack Burley, President & COO of Big Daishowa Americas. "When buyers select their favorite local school programs, they are sending resources to train their own future machinists and engineers."

To take advantage of this promotion, the following must be met:

• A minimum order of $5,000 (earning a $1,000 tooling certificate).
• Place the order through your local distributor and request "Drop-ship from Big Daishowa.
• Reference "PROMO-BD-SCHOOLS" as a line item on your order.

"We've been active in NTMA for many years. Our objective is to advise members on applying technology to reduce set ups and cycle times, improve part finishes, and lower costs through longer tool life. I hope this special promotion will be an incentive for those who have not tried our products yet," Burley said.

Big Daishowa offers 9 product lines of precision tooling, workholding, and tool management systems aimed at reducing both the overall process time and the cost per part.

Popular products include face mill holders, end mill holders, collet chucks, angle heads and tapping adaptors. The world-leading KAISER boring system, high-performance SPHINX drills and UNILOCK workholding systems are also available, as are CAT, BT, HSK and BIG CAPTO systems.
