As a 30+ yr Journeyman Tool & Die & Mold maker....Good on ya! Cool...glad to see someone reaching out to our next generation per their media!!!...BTW Great intro on the basics of WHAT it is.
When I left school at 16, I got a job as an apprentice toolmaker. I did a 5 year apprenticeship, as well as another 2 more years fully qualified until the company I worked for went bust. I absolutely loved the type of work. Everything made from scratch, by my own hands. No cnc machining, other than the parts that needed to be wire eroded. Sadly it is a job that can be done by a machine nowadays though
Keep up the good work. We need to get the youngin's interested. Maybe some emphasis, and footage on the necessities of precision during die construction. I built dies for 40+ years and would love to see the youth brought into the shop. This country needs to regain some respect for someone working in the tool and die trade. When I apprenticed, there was admiration and respect shown to you when asked what you did for a living. That seems to be gone, and would tend to attract people if they could be proud of what they do. Seems nobody wants to get dirty anymore.
I'm 21 yrs old and I work in a Tool & Machine shop as a press operator (still new to it) in Wisconsin. It's true that most people my age don't want to work in this field, every time we hire people my age the minute they have to start doing some manual labor (mainly transferring heavy parts) they all walk out. It's sad to see people my age have poor work ethics like that, especially since most of them are physically stronger than I am too. its not all people my age but it is a lot, I'm also the youngest person who works in this shop. I've been here for 7 months now and I'll admit at first I didn't like it and was only there for the paycheck but now I'm really starting to take interest in it and want to learn all I can about the job.
I miss doing that type of work. Worked at mosler safe in Hamilton Ohio as a tooling engineer. I was one of 11 involved in designing die sets. Good presentation.
All dies are tools but not all tools are dies! This means dies are a subset of tools. For example a plier is a tool just like a die. A drill or milling cutter is also a tool. So also molds for plastic molding and molds for metal casting. A stamped part is what comes out of the die when stock strip or coil is fed to it. It's the result and the die is a cause. Words die and tool are used interchangeably.
This video is very informative and quite interesting, I look forward to learning more about progressive stamping dies and other machining related topics.
Jamal Williams search for Logopress in Solid works and you are good to go and also mould tool in solid works. Key creator is also another software used for making progressive die and list goes on.
A pilot punch is capable of piercing a hole.. not something many know.. not something one would want to practice.. but I’ve seen it happen..and it’s not the worst hole you’ve ever seen
The constraint will be the tonnage and size of the punch press, compared to the individual part. The length of the progression to make the part cannot exceed the size of the press bed or the press tonnage. This needs to be calculated on an individual basis.
This sensor is to detect that the stripper plate has come down into position all of the way. It is there to help prevent or limit tool damage in the case of a misfeed or slug pulling.
Suresh, We cannot advise on your specific requirements. We would suggest getting in touch with your lubrication supplier for advice on your specific application
The pilot hole is punched at the first station along with the other two holes. This has to be done on that the pilot punches can align the strip on every progression after the first hit. If you added the pilot holes later down the line, the material could already be misaligned.
@@bpowda84 But at each progression/stage a bullet-tipped post comes down to the pilot holes, right? Assuming it is bullet-shaped so it has a nice lead-in edge to guide the pilot hole into correct position each time?
A pilot is just like the fine tuning wheel on the radio. It's job is to correct very minor inconsistencies in progression. The best practice is to place pilots in the die as early in progression as possible. And they must always engage with the stock strip before any of the punches or stripper contacts the strip. That's the reason you see them projected out from the stripper while all other punches have retracted within the stripper.
Hi, Im from Brazil and I start to study progressive stamping a couple mouths ago and you explain a way easy to understand and get a concept. Thanks.

Which country are you operating from
@@chubbychaser5 30 been interested for a while I'm poor and this areas dead for shops though in missouri cousin owns b&h machine in Columbia, ill
Unfortunately, this trade is not taught anywhere as far as I know

Thanks for making these videos!
I have 4 years of experience in stamping work in Malaysia I was a leader for two years
Bro can i get a job in tool and die making..?
Semoga saya jadi mcm kau bro,buat skrng ni saya dlm industry pelajar kemahiran perindustrian kos CNC sem4
Amazing explanation Sir
Very nice presentation - but what on earth is an "inch"? Is this a Biblical measurement? Surely measurements are in mm and cm ?
Nice video series. Pls keep it up. Thanks 😊
Thanks for these great videos explaining the process and showing specific examples! Great resource and learned a lot from these
Are there any job vacancies? I have 19 years of experience in progressive dies in Indonesia
What types of presses can work with progressive dies?
Very nicely explained and illustrated, thanks a lot !
amazing !!
I miss doing that type of work. Worked at mosler safe in Hamilton Ohio as a tooling engineer. I was one of 11 involved in designing die sets. Good presentation.
Where are you now?

I'm in tucson az, self employed doing remodeling. Boring!
Hello thank you for your explaination but i still can defferanciate between die ,tool,stamped parts

I want make a design for me
Can I work for your company
Thanks
Sir I am too and diemaker in 5 years experience
Hi sir m from India..
Nice sharing sir...keep it up
Are the pilot holes pre-cut in the blank?
Hi! Thanks for your comment! The pilot holes are pierced in the tooling during the first hit.
Hello sir
What is a progressive die? It’s my life since 1976.
is there a side cutting I can see a small cut on side may be used as stopper ...
It is helpful for people in matal stamping.
Super cool!
not looking for a job, but if I'm ever in Wisconsin can I get a tour. I am a toolmaker.
Sure! Give us a call if you are in town.
Hi I am sheet metal progressive die maker
I want make a design progressive die
When to choose Progressive Press and when to choose Transfer/tandem press? what is parts size constrain in each press
The constraint will be the tonnage and size of the punch press, compared to the individual part. The length of the progression to make the part cannot exceed the size of the press bed or the press tonnage. This needs to be calculated on an individual basis.
Great job Thank you Sir For teach us ..
amazing intotuction prograssive toole
Great introduction to progressive stamping.
Why do you use the sensor at 1:34? Could you please explain it?
This sensor is to detect that the stripper plate has come down into position all of the way.
It is there to help prevent or limit tool damage in the case of a misfeed or slug pulling.

HI IM KYLE.
Is the pilot hole applied prior to this process?
The pilot hole is punched at the first station along with the other two holes. This has to be done on that the pilot punches can align the strip on every progression after the first hit. If you added the pilot holes later down the line, the material could already be misaligned.
@@bpowda84 But at each progression/stage a bullet-tipped post comes down to the pilot holes, right? Assuming it is bullet-shaped so it has a nice lead-in edge to guide the pilot hole into correct position each time?
@@westhomas8007 that’s correct. The point on the pilot punch is tapered allowing it to “pull” the material into place if it needs to.
A pilot is just like the fine tuning wheel on the radio. It's job is to correct very minor inconsistencies in progression. The best practice is to place pilots in the die as early in progression as possible. And they must always engage with the stock strip before any of the punches or stripper contacts the strip.

When are you going to upload new videos? Nice job
