The SWS Rough Boring Head from Big Daishowa is suited for setups without a presetter. It features a twin-cutter boring head that allows for diameter adjustments without a tool measurement unit, which the company says makes setups faster and easier while maintaining a high level of precision.

The Synchro Setter connects two cartridges to provide simultaneous diameter adjustment to both cartridges. Operators can make final diameter setting adjustments using a simple measuring device, such as a micrometer or dial caliper.

The SWS range spans ø 41-110 mm (ø 1.61"-4.33"), and all SWS heads have coolant holes as standard.

"The KAISER SWS Boring Head is an option for shops without a presetter, helping to speed up setup," said Alan Miller, senior engineering manager. "Big Daishowa is known for its ruggedness, precision and superior performance. The SWS boring head offers the same durability and precision as the other boring heads in our lineup."
