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.”

- boring
boring
Enlarging a hole that already has been drilled or cored. Generally, it is an operation of truing the previously drilled hole with a single-point, lathe-type tool. Boring is essentially internal turning, in that usually a single-point cutting tool forms the internal shape. Some tools are available with two cutting edges to balance cutting forces.
- boring head
boring head
Single- or multiple-point precision tool used to bring an existing hole within dimensional tolerance. The head attaches to a standard toolholder and a mechanism permits fine adjustments to be made to the head within a diameter range.
- coolant
coolant
Fluid that reduces temperature buildup at the tool/workpiece interface during machining. Normally takes the form of a liquid such as soluble or chemical mixtures (semisynthetic, synthetic) but can be pressurized air or other gas. Because of water’s ability to absorb great quantities of heat, it is widely used as a coolant and vehicle for various cutting compounds, with the water-to-compound ratio varying with the machining task. See cutting fluid; semisynthetic cutting fluid; soluble-oil cutting fluid; synthetic cutting fluid.
- micrometer
micrometer
A precision instrument with a spindle moved by a finely threaded screw that is used for measuring thickness and short lengths.
