The trumpf shimless die adapter from Wilson Tool International is the only size 1 to size 2 adjustable adapter on the market for Trumpf-style dies. No more looking around for shims, nor time wasted measuring shims. Simply measure the die thickness, adjust the shimless die adapter to the desired setting, insert the die and you’re ready to go. #WilsonTool #ToolingSolutions #Videos #ShimlessDieAdapter

When you work with heavy or abrasive materials such as stainless, hardened steel or parts that are not completely de-burred, you can wear out the shoulders of a die long before the entire die is worn out. Replacing the entire die is expensive, so Wilson Tool International offers two different solutions depending upon your needs. #WilsonTool #PressBrake #BendingThickMaterial #ToolingSolutions

Do you know the 6 Rules of regrinding your tools? 1 - Removal of between .004” (0.1mm) and .010” (0.25mm) should return the tools to proper awareness. 2 - The grinding wheel should be dressed to present a new, clean flat surface. 3 - Light, frequent passes should be taken, vertically no more than .0005” (0.01mm) per pass while moving horizontally on the punch or die face. Removal of more material per pass may cause the metal to burn resulting in surface cracking. These heat checks will cause the punch tip edges to break down quicker than usual, resulting in a need for more frequent regrinds and reduced tool life. 4 - The tool must always be flooded with coolant while grinding. 5 - To minimize vibration and chatter, the punches or dies should be firmly clamped in suitable fixtures. Fixtures should be quick-change and capable of indexing in order to grind shear angles on punches. 6 - Punches should always be as sharp as, or sharper than, the die. By regrinding your tools regularly, and often, you will see the positive results in consistent quality holes and tooling that lasts longer and performs better. For more information on tool sharpening or other tool maintenance issues, please contact your local Wilson Tool Sales Engineer.
