Stamping die process-from raw material to finished parts.
An important skill almost lost in the United States. It needs a comeback fast for security reasons!
First time seeing these bearing sleeves, how does that compare to just using a greased pillar and bush?
retired......the vocational sell out in public education started in he late 1970's.really shows in the country we live in when the pols try to register springs,screws,roll pins and so on.no matter what the product is.Engineering degrees now in this Country are a joke.Unless one goes to the Naval academy,even the other service academies have been poisoned.No exposure=no aptitude.
Also retired. I agree 100%
I would argue that the contemporary tool and die maker is as much of an engineer as a tradesman.
How to do maintance of stamping die
Pretty impressive that your gramps was able to pick up CAD in his later years. Most old timers I've met seem to shut off their brains around age 60.
I think it was one of the things that kept him sharp until the very end.
I had no idea shops like this still existed in the US. I'd love to hear more about the history of the business... how it was founded, what kind of customers you work with, etc. You've got millions of dollars of equipment, so business must be pretty good.
My Grandfather started the business in 1975 after he immigrated from Germany. Our first video for this channel explains some details on how the company started. here is the link ruclips.net/video/fPweSQ0EjjU/видео.htmlsi=siUAN3oTiPyhfATd We work with all sorts of businesses....aerospace, medical, electronics...etc.
You could probably avoid needing to break edges if you added a small hole on each of the corners of the frame cavity in your WEDM op
Been doing this 25 years. From design to prove out on the cmm. With me running the cmm and another to verify. As a Master Die Maker, you have to understand the whole process, and if needed, program, fabricate, and assemble a functioning die on hit 1. From print to putting it in someone's hand.
We try to make a good part on the first try, but there is usually some development before getting a more complicated part to spec.
@@ToolanderEngineering Oh, I realize that happens, but the mindset of dead nuts does take over sometimes. 🔍
@@scottrackley4457 of course
Great video. Is the EDM machine scanning for the pre-pierced holes to find an origin point? The steel(s) A2? being used for the die components would be an interesting addition to future videos.
before starting the program, the machine is moved over to the start hole manually, and after the program is started, it will move from Hole to hole automatically. I could possibly do a video on the tool steel that I use. Thank you for watching.
24:58 is this the wobbliest work bench in your shop? Or you also have one suspended on bungee ropes??
lol.. that’s not a workbench It’s a cart.
@@ToolanderEngineering OK, I was just curious if there is possibility for the next video to be titled: "This is what happens to expensive die when it fall on the floor."
Love the content and you are presenting it very well, keep it up we need more people sharing this kind of information.
Thank you so much I appreciate it.
Such an amazing machine.
It is, isn’t it.
Dude, watched all your videos. We need more content like this. That said, I’m amazed how you can do such accurate work with so much care one moment and then use a janky drill press the next of sand blast a part with such high tolerances. Kinda makes me smile as I can use my favourite drill press even when I hone in on tight tolerances. Found an Edm sinker system for $1200 not too long ago, didn’t pull the trigger and am now regretting it.
Every machine has its own purpose. Some need to be accurate and some don't as you know. We could use a nicer bead blaster...lol..but it does the job.
We need way more content like this! The one question I have is why the tab in the first place?
I have not seen any content like this as well. The tab is there to hold the part in the block so the machine can perform multiple passes...a rough and a few trim cuts. After all the passes the part is cut off. Thanks for watching
That looked like .055", maybe funny angle.
It was definitely .030. Thanks for watching
the wire edm is soo efficient with material usage compared to traditional cnc milling . I hate when i made a part and the chips weigh more than the part itself
Very efficient indeed. Thank you for watching.
Good video, thanks
Thanks for watching. I am glad you enjoyed it.
Great work! I’m retired now but back in the day that’s how we would build up multistage progression tooling. After a while I missed the whole tool making process, so much so, that I designed and built my own sinker EDM (it’s easy to do as it’s just Ohm’s law) and now I can still make the odd press tool or die on a part time basis.
You made your own sinker..that's quite impressive.👍
Please keep providing these types of video with the content as there is are very few content providers, providing this type of information.
I have not seen anything like this on youtube either. I will do my best. Thanks for watching
Skillshare when?
Maybe. I never thought about it.
@@ToolanderEngineering That's a value to the viewer because they walk away with a cert.
Epic, hope to see more!
I am working on another one. Its going to take some time before I can launch it.
Brilliant toolmaking 👌
Thank you👍
Hitting that precision level of grinding is such a great feeling and one of the things I love about being a machinist. I feel as though sometimes I'm the only one, even though here I see you doing the same, and I know there are others. Still, it's pretty good
It definitely feels good to machine the part to the proper requirements and not have to scrap it. Thank you for watching
New subscriber and retired tool maker here. Fantastic story! This is the channel I was looking for. The world needs more young people like you. Stay with it!
Thank you for the encouragement. I appreciate your support.
@@ToolanderEngineering I literally watched all your videos in one day. Please post more content.
@@rayp.454 I will post more content. Thank you for watching👍
I would love to hear your opinion on the Rack Robotics desktop wire edm machine. It’s an entry level machine made for hobbyists. I bet you would have some valuable insight as someone with so much experience with these machines.
I’m sorry to disappoint you, however, I have no experience with this machine. I’ve never even heard of it.
@@ToolanderEngineering I just thought it would make a good video if you were to familiarize yourself with what they are selling, particularly the betta wire kit, and share your opinions about it. I would appreciate your insight.
RUclips propaganda = terrorism
Working to 50 millionths, and using the Horrible Fright sandblaster in the driveway. Love it, Subscribed.
Good eye, it is a harbor freight sandblaster. Its not the best but it does the job. Thanks for watching.
Amazing work. Thank you for sharing. What was the tab on the punch for?
The tab is there because when the wire machine cuts the punch it has stay partially attached to the block as it makes multiple passes to rough and trim.
Super cool! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for showing all the steps and considerations. A lot of videos pass a step or two as they show a process and yours goes all the way through.
Thank you. I wanted to show as much as possible.
Amazing work
Thank you. I appreciate it.
Great video! Shouldn't the wire EDM be capable of cutting the profile right in the center of the part though. Most of the time I start of with a ground piece of stock, so the profile is already nice and perpendicular to the block. You're a brave man, balancing the punch on such a small surface for grinding! I'd put it in a vice clamped on both ends just to be sure :)
Thank you. If the clearance is larger we will cut it to size on the outside, but with thin material and tight tolerances I like to leave a little material on because it doesn't always turn out perfect. I almost always try to lay punches directly on the magnet, it turns out more accurate.
Hi I want your advice what Is good option to buy for me/ used made in 2000 Machine EDM Wire Cut - Agiecut Evolution BC 2 made in SWITZERLAND good used OR unused Chinese Machine I need your suggestion
we have had agie machines in the past. They are good machines but the replacement parts can be super expensive.
Thank you for your fast reply 🙏 in your knowledge what the parts need maintenance most
@@BB-km5nv I am mainly talking about the circuit boards. When they go bad, they can be very expensive.
Hello again, you're a great tool maker. I would hire u in a second, let me know if u ever need a job 😆. If you're ever in the Corona riverside area I would love to show you the facility and I'll buy u lunch and we can talk shop.
Ha Ha.. thanks for the offer. I appreciate it. I would love to check out your shop.
Yes we gladly made it to the end! Boy, EDM has really occupied most aspects of your building ...
It does for this part, however it is not always the case. Thanks for watching
Loved the video. A few suggestions and questions: - Type of material and hardness of each part? - What are the tolerance of each part and the clearances between parts? - Showing a 3D assembly cross section at the start of the video would have helped us follow along in a much more meaningful way
I'm glad you enjoyed it. The material is .003 thick stainless steel. There are so many different tolerances on that part it would be difficult to list them all. The tolerance for the burr is .0002. A 3d cross assembly? I am not sure what you mean by that
@@ToolanderEngineeringI think he's saying a 3D model at the beginning, but it sounded like you were only creating 2D files. How about the die material and condition?
Doing my dream job! You use about 10% material thickness for clearance? So in this case .0003?
Depends on the application. For this part the clearance is around 5%
Wow that’s tight! Though I would think required since it’s such thin material! Nice work!
@@MJQAZ Thank you
I love videos like this one. I'm always very intrigued on how other tool & die shops go through the building process of precision metal stamping dies. I would love to see a series on how you build a whole die from design to finished product run. Great video! I will definitely be keeping my eye open for more.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I am working on a video showing a progressive die being built from scratch, it going to take some time to complete.
@@ToolanderEngineering I understand. I'll be looking forward to it!
Great. Interesting and quality. Love EDM
I'm glad you enjoyed it .Thanks for watching
A whole new meaning to living on the edge when you ground the wire tab off! 😂 nice work and video tho. I’m from the Powder Metal compaction tooling industry.
Ha ha.. living on the edge. I’m not familiar with the powder compaction industry, I will have to check it out. Thank you for watching.
He makes carbide inserts would be my guess.@@ToolanderEngineering
Old Manual Retired Machinist 😲 + or - .005 was what I worked with back in the 70's. Thanks for the Video ☺️
Plus or -.005 is still pretty good. Thank you for watching. 👍
this appear to be too much of work for mass production, do manufactures just do honing for large quantities?
I am not familiar with mass production for this type of operation.
Good video
Thanks for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
I don't have patience anymore
As an apprentice Tool Maker, I wished I'd have been taught this stuff, but our Journeymen are retiring and they don't give a crap about teaching us, they love bragging about their skills, but don't want to pass them down, we have such a crap foundation at our company.
I am sorry to hear that. It sounds like a very frustrating situation. Where do you work?
I know exactly what you're going through, been there done that. Don't even spare a thought for that place or those clowns. Just leave and keep moving till you find the right place where you can learn a lot from the right men. And after a about 3 years, move again and you will learn a lot more, trust me.
Kool Video
Willyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy……
🎉🎉
Good
Is .013" The smallest hole it can make?
To my knowledge .012 is the smallest we can go.
@ToolanderEngineering Thamk you.
Interesting to see this technology being used to outfit and support good old mass production stamping machines.
Thanks for your comment! It's fascinating how technology continues to evolve and find applications in traditional industries like stamping dies.
