01
Cutting & forming inserts
Inserts for blanking, bending and drawing dies, with wire-cut profiles and a sliding fit in their pocket.
Service 02
Tooling & dies
Die inserts, punches, dies, shims and hydroforming components. We work hardened tool steel and cut the final geometry after heat treatment — which is where geometry actually survives.

Approach
We cut after hardening, not before
The most common mistake in tooling is machining final geometry in soft material and sending it out to harden. The part moves, the corner rounds off, and the fit that took hours is lost in the furnace.
We leave critical geometry for last: rough machine, heat treat, then close it out with wire EDM and grinding. The result is an insert that drops into its pocket without stoning, and a corner that stays sharp.
It takes more planning, but it is the difference between tooling that lasts a program and tooling that needs re-fitting every month.

What we build
02
Punches
Blanking punches, tube piercing punches and perforating punches, with head, body and point to suit the application.
03
Dies & die shoes
Complete dies and individual replacement components, including guides, bushings and plates.
04
Shims & spacers
Shims machined to the required thickness to correct heights and clearances, with controlled material and flatness.
05
Hydroforming components
Inserts, mechanical seals and clamping elements for tube hydroforming tooling.
06
Spares for other people's tooling
We copy the worn component by scanning or direct measurement and reproduce it, even with no original drawing.
Tooling questions
Do you heat treat in house?
Heat treatment is done by a treater we have worked with for years, and we keep responsibility for the result: if the hardness does not come out as specified, that is our problem, not yours.
I have the broken insert but no drawing. Can you reproduce it?
Yes. We scan what survived, rebuild the geometry and show you the model before machining so you can confirm. This is routine work for us.
What tolerances do you hold on tooling?
Wire EDM allows tight tolerances and sharp corners in already-hardened material. The committed tolerance is defined per part in the quote based on geometry and material — we do not publish a generic number we cannot then hold.
Do you handle line-down emergencies?
Yes, and it is a large part of what comes through the door. If a line is stopped, say so in the first message: we re-sequence machine load and give you a real date the same day.
