From November 3, 2025-January 30, 2026, Big Daishowa will donate a tooling certificate valued at 20% of every qualifying order to the customer’s school of choice through the Tools for Schools program. Schools can redeem certificates for any Big Daishowa products, including high-quality toolholders, boring tools, cutting tools, workholding products and presetters.

In the first three years, Big Daishowa has issued nearly $70,000 in tooling certificates to high schools, vocational schools, colleges and universities. According to Jack Burley, president/COO of Big Daishowa, this aligns with the company’s mission to nurture skilled workers for the future.

“We’re committed to preparing the next generation of manufacturers for success. This program helps inspire students by giving them the confidence, skill and experience to work with the same precision tooling they’ll use in their careers,” Burley says.

To participate in the program, follow these steps:

• The qualifying minimum order must meet the program’s criteria to earn a tooling certificate
• Place the order through your local distributor and request “Drop ship from Big Daishowa”
• Reference “PROMO-BD-SCHOOLS” as a line item on your order.

Big Daishowa offers a range of precision tooling, workholding and tool management systems designed to reduce both overall process time and cost per part.

Popular products include face mill holders, end mill holders, collet chucks, angle heads and tapping adapters. The Kaiser Boring System, high-performance Sphinx Drills and Unilock workholding systems are also available, as are CAT, BT, HSK and Big Capto systems. If a machine is equipped with a Big-Plus spindle, Big Daishowa is the officially licensed provider of Big-Plus toolholders in North America.
