BIG Kaiser Precision Tooling Inc. has expanded the Kaiser KAB modular tooling system capabilities to include the rigid high-feed C-Cutter Mini chamfer mill line from BIG Daishowa Seiki. The new C-Cutter Mini KAB type delivers multifunctional cutting, including chamfering, back chamfering and even light facemilling. Its design permits 45°Chamfering for diameters from 0.866" to 2.441", and is suitable for use on steel (including stainless), cast iron, aluminum and other nonferrous materials. The newly introduced SE (Sharp Edge) insert type prevents burrs and is recommended for stainless and mild steel applications. The new modular connection makes the C-Cutter Mini more versatile because it can now be used with existing Kaiser KAB1/KAB3/KAB4 shanks, extensions and reductions. The KAB connection delivers performance advantages including strong face to face clamping forces for maximum rigidity, repeatable seating precision and moderate vibration dampening effect due to friction between the mating components.
