Tool & Die

Precision Tool & Die, Built Around EDM

Tool and die work lives or dies on the details — matched punch-and-die clearances, sharp internal corners, and features cut into fully hardened steel without distortion. That is exactly where EDM excels. By building die details on wire and sink EDM instead of relying on grinding and conventional machining, we hold tolerances traditional toolmaking can't, cut forms that grinding can't reach, and machine the tool after heat treat — so the clearances you design are the clearances you get.

Dies and Tooling We Build and Rebuild

• →Progressive, blanking, and piercing dies
• →Forming, drawing, bending, and trim dies
• →Punch and die sets in tool steel and carbide
• →Mold cores, cavities, inserts, and slides
• →Jigs, fixtures, gauges, and check tooling

Why EDM Changes Tool & Die Work

Conventional die work means machining soft, hardening, then chasing the distortion heat treat introduces — grinding, hand-fitting, and hoping clearances hold. EDM removes that compromise. We machine the detail in its final hardened state, so there is no post-hardening movement to correct. The wire holds ±0.00005" on punch and die openings, traces sharp internal corners no end mill can produce, and cuts carbide as readily as tool steel. The result is a tighter, longer-lasting die with clearances that are right the first time.

Die Repair When Production Can't Wait

A cracked die section or a worn punch can stop a press line. We EDM replacement details into hardened blocks, add or relocate features for an engineering change, and turn die repairs fast — often the same week, with rush and emergency options when your line is down. We retain your programs and fixtures between jobs, so the next repair or rebuild runs faster still, and we provide material certifications, heat numbers, and first-article inspection reports whenever your quality system requires them.
