BIG Kaiser Introduces Slender Drive Angle Head for Angular Operations Inside Small Bores



Elk Grove Village, IL - BIG Kaiser introduces the Slender Drive Angle Head, its newest solution within the Profit Maker Series. The reduced body of the Slender Drive offers a higher degree of flexibility to machined components by allowing 90-degree cutting operations inside small bores.

The Slender Drive is available in CAT40/50 and BT40/50 tapers, all standard with the BIG-PLUS dual contact interface. BIG Kaiser Angle Heads combine operations on one machine, eliminating the potential for error created by multiple setups. They increase productivity by easily changing the angle of the cutter without repositioning the workpiece.

There are a total of six output attachments to choose from; three small diameter and three large, each with varying lengths. All six are interchangeable on both 40 and 50 taper units. The three smaller diameter outputs allow access into bores as small as ~1.181" (30mm), the three larger allow ~1.575" (40mm). These measurements include a clamped cutting tool with minimal projection length. Both diameter classes offer an output attachment with a maximum depth of the cutting tool centerline at 4.921" (125mm).

The Slender Drive offers a maximum speed of 2,000 RPM and is designed for drilling and light milling operations. The clamping range for both 40 and 50 taper units is ~.118-.236" (3-6mm).

The Slender Drive features superior quality components. It is equipped with hardened and ground bevel and spur gears, super precision hardened and ground spindles, and high precision angular contact ball bearings. As with all BIG Kaiser Angle Heads, the cutter head is adjustable 360-degrees.
