Quality Punches and Dies for Tool Making
There’s a formula for creating quality punches. The engineering techniques also apply to the dies for tool making that perform flawlessly during their extended lifespans. Principally speaking, the key is...

Roll Pin Punches: Uses and Applications
What is a roll pin? There’s a simple answer to that question, which is just as well because we need to get back to the issue at hand. Roll pins...
Effects of Dull Blades and Punches in Metal Fabrication
Metal fabrication is one of the largest industries in the engineering world. The reason? Metal fabrication allows for companies to effectively, safely, and quickly punch, cut, and bend metal into...
Punching and Blanking Metal Fabrication: What are the Differences?
Punching and blanking runs are two entirely different processes. Using sheet metal to illustrate that assertion, two singular products pop out of the production line. Let’s start with the punching...
Maximising Punch Machinery Efficiency in Production
In punch machinery, maximising process efficiency takes more than the ability to squeeze multiple cut sites onto a single sheet of hardened metal. There are other ways to tighten the...
Benefits of Vacuum Heat Treatment in Punches and Dies
Before writing down a compelling argument, one that explains why punches and dies are formed from hardened super-alloys, we should talk a little about vacuum heat treatment. First and foremost,...
Signs that Show that Your Punches and Dies Need Replacement
Sophisticated punches and dies indent metal surfaces with clearly detailed outlines. The marks are precise, easy to identify, and they repeatedly stamp out identical tags. It seems like these hardened...
Properties of Steel Materials and Tools Used for Punches
Tool steel has to be much tougher than a regular alloy. The materials are hard, abrasion and impact resistant, and they’re designed to defy wear. All things considered, then, machine...
What is CNC Punching?
CNC punching is a computer controlled means of indenting sheet metal. Instead of a manually held punch tool, it’s a punch pressing machine that carries out this automated process. Think...
Different Types of Punches and Their Uses
Punches are indentation tools. If you strike the blunt head of this narrow shaft with a hammer, the opposing end of the tool creates an indented mark in a metal...
