A new section in the forums for stamping and metal lathe work?
I have been asked to include a section for those in the sheet metal industry who are press brake operators and metal lathe operators – so maybe they’ll stop in again and share some of their experience and solutions.
Always wanting to learn more about our indsutry - how about you:) |

Here also for those that might be interested in this subject is a link to a classic book
Press Working Metals - 1913 but a lot of good knowledge here...

Hi Bud,
By "stamp" do you mean or include drop-hammers or hydraulic forming?
Drop hammers are pretty simple but do require some head room or outdoor use.

 I guess they didn't really ever say - but I'm sure if it's discussed, someone might join in.
Thanks for joining us! |

| Not sure if this belongs here but this is my query. We have an Edwards 55 ton ironworker. I have the standard die with four bending profiles. I need to make 1" by 1" by 1" rib for my box gutter brackets. How can I get a die to fit this machine that will do that task. Edwards tells me to shop it out. They do not have one. |

| Have you thought of making your own punch and die. I have done this in the past for short runs and prototype work. I have 4' Diacro press brake that takes standard american style tooling. If you have access to a waterjet or plasma( the parts will have to be cleaned) figure out the profile, cut hte pieces out of some 1/2" plate or thicker, tack them all together and you should be set. The downfall is the tooling is not hardened or precision so it will were out quicker than most purchased tooling. Just a thought I not sure exactaly what your going for or the matierial your trying to bend. |

| We bend .032" X 1" 304 Stainless Steel bar stock so anything too soft would not hold up. I do have a Plasma arc cutter, not certain if that is what you mean but I suppose I could fab my own Die, it would be a matter of making it strong enogh. Let me ponder that. Thank you! |
