Big Kaiser has expanded its lineup of Smart Damper-equipped, arbor-style face mill holders, with the largest and longest milling tools it has ever offered. The holders supports 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 allows users of 3" face mills to access up to 19.68" of reach, the longest tool assembly in the industry using standard components, according to Big Kaiser. This toolholder is well-suited for face milling components used in construction equipment, aerospace and oil/gas industries.
Smart Damper is designed to deliver quiet, vibration-free milling, even in long-projection assemblies. Its design shortens the distance from the damping mechanism to the cutting edge, reportedly producing higher damping effects to the tool assembly and minimizing chatter or vibration for better surface finishes and improved metal removal rates.
The new Smart Damper face mill holder is available for BBT50, BCV50 and HSK-A100 shank styles.
