Empowering Future Manufacturers: BIG DAISHOWA’s Tools for Schools Program Enters its Third Year

Now in its third year, the Tools for Schools program from BIG DAISHOWA continues to grow, helping to support the next generation of manufacturers.

Now through December 30, 2024, customers who make a qualifying purchase can earn a tooling certificate valued at 20% of their purchase to give to their school of choice. Schools can redeem certificates for any the compamy’s products, including best-in-class tool holders, boring tools, cutting tools, workholding products and presetters.

In the first two years of the program, BIG DAISHOWA issued nearly $50,000 in tooling certificates to high schools, vocational schools, colleges and universities. According to Jack Burley, President/COO, this aligns with the company’s mission to nurture skilled workers for the future.

“Our commitment to workforce development runs deep, and this program gives our customers the chance to invest directly in their communities by providing future machinists and engineers the same BIG DAISHOWA tooling they’ll use in their careers,” said Burley.

To participate in the program:

• The qualifying minimum order is $5,000 (earning a $1,000 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 aimed at reducing both the overall process time and the cost per part.

Popular products include face mill holders, end mill holders, collet chucks, angle heads and tapping adaptors. The world-leading KAISER Boring System, high-performance Sphinx Drills and UNILOCK Workholding systems are also available, as are CAT, BT, HSK and BIG Capto systems.
