BIG KAISER adds to Base Master range

When it comes to tool pre-setting, the BIG KAISER Base Master Mini from Industrial Tooling Corporation (ITC) has proven its credentials as the leading system for precision tool measurement with unsurpassed simplicity. Now, the Base Master Mini has received two upgrades.

The first upgrade replaces the single LED indicator on Base Master devices with a 360-degree light. This makes it easy for operators to see contact from any orientation. This improves the visibility of the indicator light and also enhances the user-friendliness of the device.

Secondly, the Base Master Mini is now available with a side handle. This makes it easier to use on turning centres with limited operator access. The Base Master Mini’s compact design makes it quick and simple to pre-set the offset position while providing extremely accurate results to a height tolerance of just 5µm. With a standard height of only 20mm, it is ideal for small Swiss-type lathes and compact machine tools with little room for manoeuvre.

The Base Master lineup can be used with all types of machine tools and materials, including non-conductive cutting tools, workpieces and machine tools. The system enables operators to quickly measure workpiece offsets, tool lengths, and cutting edges with zero risk of damage or breakage, at sub-millimetre levels when needed.

There are three Base Master models available.
