Tool coatings like TiN, TiCN, and DLC extend CNC punch life and reduce downtime. Match the right treatment to your metal to prevent galling and lower your fabrication costs.
Optimize CNC punch press operations with this guide to thick turret tooling. Learn to select the correct station sizes, metallurgy, and multi-tools to maximize shop efficiency.
Custom sheet metal profiles often require more than standard cutting and bending. Channels, ribs, offsets, tabs, louvers, beads, irregular openings, locating features, and other non-standard geometries can place very different demands on the tooling compared with simple round holes or straight bends
