Showa Tool Co. has developed several propietary technologies:
- Micron Chuck: minimal runout high presicion milling chuck
- Hard Chuck: Ball screw tightening mechanism for power and accuracy
- Synchro Tap Holder: Infinitesimal floating synchronized tap holders
- Slim type Collet Chuck: Super slim bodies to minimize work and jig interference
- HY-Dual Chuck: For difficult to machine materials
- FIRSTCUT Adjustable Presicion Boring: Adjustable boring system for ultra-precision finish by high-precision feeding
FIRSTCUT boring system is a high-precision dial-adjustable chucking system that facilitates boring operations. The tool's dial auxiliary ring eliminates reading errors. Throwaway boring tips are available.
A long seller Collet Chuck with outstanding power and accuracy created by a ball screw mechanism. Various shank types and sizes are available for a wide range of applications.

MICRON CHUCK guarantees runouts as low as 0.001mm at the chuck nose and 0.002mm at 3xD (the tool is supplied with inspection sheet) with clamping power as high as other milling chucks or higher (Ø32ID MICRON clamping force is 2.450Nm and Ø6ID is 49Nm, almost twice as hydraulic chucks). Also, due to its unique ball screw locking mechanism, the cutting tool is not drawn back into the tool while tightening.
BT30/40/50, SK30/40/50 and HSKA50/63/100 configurations are available. Shrink-Fit and Coolant-Through are available.
