Big Daishowa Incentive Supports Manufacturing Training Programs

Big Daishowa is enabling manufacturers to support their local manufacturing training programs when purchasing its cutting tools, toolholders and workholding products. From November 1 to December 30, 2022, Big Daishowa will donate a tooling certificate valued at 20% of every order from an National Tooling and Machining Assn. (NTMA) member company to the buyer’s school of choice. NTMA says its nearly 1,200 members “design and manufacture special tools, dies, jigs, fixtures, gages, special machines and precision machined parts.”

“This is a way for us to support our partners and customers in NTMA and continue to show our commitment to workforce development,” Jack Burley, president and COO of Big Daishowa Americas, says. “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:

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

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

Big Daishowa offers nine 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 Kaiser boring system, high-performance Sphinx drills and Unilock workholding systems are also available, as are CAT, BT, HSK and Big Capto systems.
