I was a tool and die makers apprentice when I was in high school and collage. I am thankful of the knowledge I gain and think tool and die makers are unsung hero’s but I wouldn’t recommend going into this field. First you will spend more time at work then with your family, most tool and die makers work 10 plus hour days and Saturdays. Also as soon as business gets slow they layoff pretty quickly. Pay isn’t great anymore bc companies can’t afford to pay much due to Chinese compaction, this may not be an issue for some but most shops are small family owned so there is lot of politics and no room to grow unless you open your own shop. Also I never meet a tool and die maker who made 100,000 year, maybe if they worked a ton of overtime.

How good does one's math skills need to be to be a successful toolmaker? What types of mathematics will be used every day?
@WisconsinMetalPartsАй бұрын
Years ago you needed to have very strong math skills. Today much of the calculations are done by computer or calculators. At a minimum you will need to acquire basic math, some trigonometry is helpful and blueprint reading skills. Most of these subjects are covered during the apprentice schooling. Hopefully you don’t see math as a barrier.

Tool and die making in the Detroit and southeast Michigan has been decimated by much of the work sent out of the country. Yesterday I was looking at the local community college catalog in my county and there is virtually nothing offered for tool and die and manufacturing. Machine programming is the closest class offered. Other than on the job training who is teaching these apprentices what they need to know?

That is unfortunate to hear. The Detroit area has always been a strong manufacturing area with lots of skilled labor. In the Milwaukee area we still have several technical colleges that offer Tool & Die and Machining apprentice training.

I work in IT and honestly think that mechanical engineering, production engineering, tool making ect looks way more interesting then just designing another corporate app. For me making phisical objects have appeal and generates satisfaction much greater then making software. It is a pity that in USA, Europe ect manufacturing jobs are dissapearing. We have so radiculus situation that in some areas, like metallurgy and metalworking most engeeners and foremen are around their retirement age, and there are no young lads seeking education and job in those areas any more.

Hello We have a company in which we make sheet metal dies and sheet metal parts. It has some companies with whom we are working. Like Honda Suzuki Toyota are different companies who develop all new parts from us. They have their requirements which include drying and making tool and die and parts according to 3D model. In which compound die. , progressive die, blanking die, piercing die, forming die, And we work according to their demand. And if their requirements are according to the parts checking fixtures and 3D and drawings, then we work accordingly. And all dimensions of all parts are according to drawing and 3D data. . And we also have some companies from other countries that we are working with. We manufacture and supply their parts. If you have any job then give us a chance, InshAllah we will not let you down. If you want to get the dies designed. So if you send the data, we will also design the dies for you. We will wait for your reply. Please contact me. [email protected]. Thank you very much

My earnings in 1981 would be equivalent to $185,000 in 2024 dollars. 1981 was the year I finished my Tool & Die apprenticeship. That year, worked 58hrs/week and I received $8,200 profit sharing. Today, there aren't any shops offering much overtime, nor profit sharing. There were some good years in the '90s, but the overall 40+ year earnings trend for this work has been sharply downhill. I don't see it ever recovering.

I was a tool maker back in the 90's working for Talon the zipper company. Learned from a lot of tool makers from Meadville, PA. Made dies, repaired molds with a TIG welder and EDM and spent 30 hours a week surface grinding an some milling. Made all my tools from vices to 1 2 3 blocks. NAFT killed the trade. Talon sold and moved to Mexico only to fail. I went back to college at 32 and learned to be a Computer Network Engineer. As a tool maker I made 17.95 and hour in the 90's. I went from mid 30K a year to now 130K a year as Senior Network Engineer. I hate working with computer. I hate office. The computer career gave me terrible social anxiety. I am retiring at 58 from it setting up a small CNC plasma and fab/welding shop in my garage. Those skill I learned as a tool maker have served me well. I can fix anything and never pay others to fix my things. I am returning to what I loved and leaving a terrible office job.

Thanks for your comments. We agree that these are not our most complex parts. That was not the purpose of this video. Many of the parts we showed have true position and profile tolerances under .002”. I’m sure you would agree it is challenging to maintain tolerances like that when you are running millions of parts. We are passionate about this trade and would welcome you to share some of your more complex parts so we can all continue to learn.
