Netflix: are you still watching? 1:57

Americans talk to much, the Chinese are doing it.

Fantastic, I have been worked with metal stamping in Brazil and now Im studing about the stamping parts in English because the name is not just a translation, it is very differente. That´s why Im looking for videos on youtube about this subject. I have here stamping with around 2,3 meters ant 2 tons, stamping stator and rotor for induction motors.

Are there any particular reference materials for design of high speed press tooling?

I'm currently a Mold Maker and I'm wondering if Tool and Die is that much different compared to Mold making. I'm thinking on making the switch but I'm not sure if its going to have me completely lost. I know the basics of the trade are quiet similar but other than that i have no idea lol. Can anyone clarify this better for me?

Hi Sir. I've worked steel stamping for 10 years in japan .I like this work.I want this job

Same skill set as needed for a general shop machinist, if you want to get anywhere at the trade.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

24:58 is this the wobbliest work bench in your shop? Or you also have one suspended on bungee ropes??

Love the content and you are presenting it very well, keep it up we need more people sharing this kind of information.

Such an amazing machine.

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.

We need way more content like this! The one question I have is why the tab in the first place?

That looked like .055", maybe funny angle.

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

Good video, thanks

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.

Please keep providing these types of video with the content as there is are very few content providers, providing this type of information.

Skillshare when?

Epic, hope to see more!

Brilliant toolmaking 👌

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

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!

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.

KZbin propaganda = terrorism

Working to 50 millionths, and using the Horrible Fright sandblaster in the driveway. Love it, Subscribed.

Amazing work. Thank you for sharing. What was the tab on the punch for?

Super cool! Thanks for sharing!

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.

Amazing work

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 :)

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

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.

Yes we gladly made it to the end! Boy, EDM has really occupied most aspects of your building ...

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

Doing my dream job! You use about 10% material thickness for clearance? So in this case .0003?

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.

Great. Interesting and quality. Love EDM

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.

Old Manual Retired Machinist 😲 + or - .005 was what I worked with back in the 70's. Thanks for the Video ☺️

this appear to be too much of work for mass production, do manufactures just do honing for large quantities?
