Questions
- Is there really a difference between die maintenance and die repair?
- Can my die designs be improved to ease maintenance on the shop floor?
- Is there a systematic way to select tool steels and heat treatments to improve die life?
- How can I reduce cutting, punching and forming problems in my dies?
