Big Kaiser, a member of the Big Daishowa Group, has expanded its lineup of Smart Damper-equipped, arbor-style face mill holders. This new holder is the largest and longest milling tool of the company’s offerings, supporting face mills with diameters of 3", 4", 80 mm or 100 mm with an arbor pilot diameter of either 1" or 27 mm.
The Model SDF57 assembly has an outside diameter of 2.83" and enables those using 3" face mills to access up to 19.68" of reach. The new tool holder will benefit face milling operations where long reaches are common.
According to Big Kaiser, Smart Damper enables quiet, vibration-free milling, even in long-projection assemblies. The integral design of Smart Damper shortens the distance from the damping mechanism to the cutting edge. This produces higher damping effects to the tool assembly, minimizing chatter or vibration for better surface finishes and improved metal removal rates.
The Smart Damper face mill holder is available for BBT50, BCV50 and HSK-A100 shank styles.
