Morris Midwest: Big Plus vs. Standard Tooling Lunch & Learn

Written by Brenda Hawley | Jul 20, 2026 5:22:48 PM

Presented in partnership with BIG DAISHOWA Demonstrating performance advantages of Big Plus dual-contact tooling compared to standard CAT40 holders using live machining demos on an Okuma M560. 

See advanced tooling performance in real cutting conditions. Watch an Okuma M560 cut steel using Big Plus tooling versus standard CAT40 holders and experience the difference in rigidity, finish, and overall shop-floor performance.

Why Attend

If you are not making the trip to IMTS, this is a practical opportunity to see advanced tooling technology in action closer to your operation. The real value is not just the tooling. It is what better rigidity, cleaner cutting, and more stable performance can mean for throughput, part quality, and tool life.

What You Will See
  • Live head-to-head comparisons between Big Plus and standard CAT40 holders
  • Real-time steel cutting on an Okuma M560
  • Visual and audible differences in cutting stability and performance
  • A close look at finished parts and surface quality after each test
What Big Plus Changes

The Big Plus dual-contact system is designed to improve rigidity and stability at the spindle. That means less vibration and chatter, better surface finish, longer tool life, and more performance from the machines already on your floor.

What That Means for Your Operation
  • Improved cutting stability in demanding applications
  • Better surface finish quality on finished parts
  • Longer tool life and more consistent results
  • Stronger throughput potential from existing equipment
