Big Kaiser Precision Tooling Inc. plans to change its name to Big Daishowa Inc., effective Jan. 1, 2022.
“Big Daishowa is a global leader of tooling systems, and we have been a member of the Big Daishowa group of companies for many years,” said Jack Burley, president and COO. “The name change is a natural evolution in this relationship. Being known as Big Daishowa in North America will strengthen our corporate presence on a global scale.
“Our customers won’t notice any change in our business day-to-day,” Burley said. “They will receive the same superior products, personal support and performance guarantee we’ve been delivering for more than 30 years.”
The name change will not impact operations, product lines, staff, distribution or licensing agreements in North America. The company will continue to offer the same high-precision tool holders, cutting and boring tools, workholding, tool measurement systems and accessories manufactured in Japan, Europe and the United States.
As a member of the Big Daishowa Group (Osaka, Japan), Big Daishowa Inc. has grown into a recognized global tooling provider, with manufacturing facilities in North America, Switzerland and Japan. In addition, Big Daishowa is the North American representative of Speroni tool measuring machines, Sphinx high performance drills, mptec measuring stands, Tekusa spindle cleaners and the Unilock zero-point workholding system.

boring
Enlarging a hole that already has been drilled or cored. Generally, it is an operation of truing the previously drilled hole with a single-point, lathe-type tool. Boring is essentially internal turning, in that usually a single-point cutting tool forms the internal shape. Some tools are available with two cutting edges to balance cutting forces.
