BIG KAISER introduces two versions of the C-Centering Cutter, a multifunction cutter capable of spot drilling, centering and chamfering. The C-Centering Cutter is an indexable cutter that uses a specialized insert that can start a hole from a solid piece, something extremely difficult to do. It can also perform spot drilling and 90-degree chamfering at the same time or can strictly be used for hole chamfering.
During spot drilling, the insert nose radius can be easily chipped with general cutters since the center has a peripheral speed of zero. The coolant hole in the C-Centering Cutter allows cooling of the cutting edge, which reaches high temperatures during spot drilling, and enables immediate chip evacuation. This prevents chipping during spot drilling.
A benefit of indexable tools is that its life is significantly extended. Once a carbide tool is worn out, there is no other use to it and ends up being thrown away. With an indexable cutter, a small insert can be replaced when worn out, so the cutter body can be reused multiple times.
The new version of this tool is a three-insert C-Centering Cutter, which is only used for chamfering. This version is perfect for general chamfering and results in a reduction of cycle time over using the single insert version.
1. Process of locating the center of a workpiece to be mounted on centers. 2. Process of mounting the workpiece concentric to the machine spindle. See centers.
Fluid that reduces temperature buildup at the tool/workpiece interface during machining. Normally takes the form of a liquid such as soluble or chemical mixtures (semisynthetic, synthetic) but can be pressurized air or other gas. Because of water’s ability to absorb great quantities of heat, it is widely used as a coolant and vehicle for various cutting compounds, with the water-to-compound ratio varying with the machining task. See cutting fluid; semisynthetic cutting fluid; soluble-oil cutting fluid; synthetic cutting fluid.
The larger diameter cutter and new lengths both boost the Fullcut Mill FCM BBT line’s already-considerable versatility, allowing machinists to tailor their tool selections for many different applications. The BIG-PLUS BBT shank products are compatible with both BIG-PLUS and existing BT spindle…
The BIG CAPTO C3 square holders for turning applications come in left and right orientation. The turning application holders—C3-180-BH16R-2058 and C3-180-BH16L-2058—are mono-block holders. Their insert clamps are tough and reliable, adding on to the already inherently high rigidity of mono-block…
The Mega Double Power Chuck system features an expanded contact diameter of the nut to the flange, which provides the highest rigidity—as if the chuck and nut were one solid piece. This superior rigidity ensures heavy duty machining without chatter.
The Base Master lineup is used with all types of machines and materials, including non-conductive cutting tools, workpieces and machine tools. Quickly measure workpiece offsets, tool lengths and cutting edges with zero risk of damage or breakage at submillimeter levels when needed.
The SU Type has a length of 235mm and rubber bellows. The larger MU Type is 360mm in length and has a reinforced ball joint with a large collar. Both use serrated washers instead of flat washers to reduce slippage and increase stability of the center joint.
The Model SDF57 assembly has an outside diameter of 2.83" and allows users of 3" face mills to access up to 19.68" of reach, the longest tool assembly in the industry using standard components. Face milling components used in construction equipment, aerospace and oil/gas industries…
To minimize machine downtime and provide operator safety, these Hydraulic Chucks use a simple hex wrench that requires only two to three turns for both clamping and unclamping. Tightening is complete when the clamping screw hits the bottom; controlling tightening torque is not needed. Once a…
The SW BIG CAPTO Rough Boring Head makes it possible to perform rough and finish boring processes seamlessly with the finishing heads it has offered for years. BIG KAISER currently offers the widest range of rotating BIG CAPTO tooling of any provider.
The Chip Blower automates in-machine cleaning of coolant and chips by delivering high-volume air flow with spindle rotation. When not in use, the Chip Blower fits easily into any automatic tool change system for vertical, horizontal or multi-tasking machining centers. The Chip Blower can be used…
BIG KAISER’s modular CK/CKB system allows for versatility in the length of tooling combinations, up to a maximum of 10 times diameter and can run on nearly every major spindle interface. All tools are coolant-through and have three different insert holder options per head size. The tried-and-true…
