How good does one's math skills need to be to be a successful toolmaker? What types of mathematics will be used every day?

I’m a young toolmaker working at Space X. These rockets wouldn’t fly without the tooling department. Love the trade. Hard work for sure. Props to the generations of men who passed down their knowledge! 💯

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?

I am I am interested to learn job

Very nice job. Muy buen diseño 👌 😊.

Great video, good on you for putting this out there for young people and others seeking a rewarding career thats vital to our nation.

That was an USELESS AD... tell what material it is

Great display and explanation of the various components and sections of progressive die.

Hi, Im from Brazil and I start to study progressive stamping a couple mouths ago and you explain a way easy to understand and get a concept. Thanks.

What is a progressive die? It’s my life since 1976.

Habe früher an Draht-und Senkerodier-Maschinen gearbeitet.

0.050" solder check all around ! :)

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.

I really appreciate ... you take your time to explain this interesting topics for guys that we are working on this area tanks a lot bro

I'm 18 and my boyfriend is one, I had no idea what it was, but now I'm in more awe of this man

Oh, the machine looks very good, our company also can do some parts and do the welding process for your machine for this machine. Our company is TTM Group who have over 10 years experience in China

Sir, I want to get tool and die job in Canada from India please help. I experienced 15 years in sheet metal dies. I also play autocad

I graduated from Malaysia Vocational Technical school in fitting and machining. And now I've been a tool maker for 24 years and it's still running. Although it has been in this field for a long time, it is never boring!

Hello! We also produce stamps. Tell me what steels do you use for pullers?

I did a bookmakers apprenticeship in Britain in 1970s. It was a good trade back then. However, like most manufacturing in uk, it was "farmed out" The government decided it was cheaper to import! Skills became worthless!

What are the die safety system are you using

Good work ! And we also make metal stampings and deep draw parts. We have 500 tons ,650 tons, 800 tons of hydraulic press to make large deep draw parts.

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. saleem475135@gmail.com. Thank you very much

Card carry die maker since 1985 served my apprenticeship under my father in our own shop for my first 9 years from 80-89. Closed our shop in 2016 but Still doing it today for an old old customer in 2024.. I enjoy seeing others work. Yours is good stuff.

Stay away, it doesn't pay anymore, and most jobs went overseas. I became a journeyman mold/Die maker, always wanted to get into the cad part of things.

Thank you very much brother, may Allah bless you with age and health ! Amen Sama Amen or Lord of the worlds Amen

We have left our film on the hood (stainless steel) for a long time and now it breaks and won't come of. Is there any solution to remove old dry protective plastic film from stainless steel? Thank you .

hello Sir I am a toolmaker from India. Very Good explanation on Draw tool. If you could have displayed & explained the upper part of the Tool, the concepts would have been more clear.

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.

Hi there very informative video on stamping dies.

Hi there very informative video on stamping dies.

As you got your production cost down, what happened to the price for the customer?

I'm a life long mold maker in Los Angelas area no one here is making well over 6 figures but around a hundred grand a year for senior mold makers

I appreciate those valuable word which I get more knowledge from.

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.

Worked as a tool die maker when I was about 21. Small shop, we built new shoe dies from old shoe dies collecting all the valuable hardware. We had to plan how to use the new hardened die on shoes that were second hand. Quite a learning experience. Tool and die, live or die!

That's pretty much a copper blade. Maybe even brass.

Men in this field are the unsung heros of the manufacturing industry.

Don't wanna be a downer, but those parts seem well below average complexity for prog or transfer Tooling, either way its done properly, ps also 1/4 stamping with 300 tons is nuts, like you hitting play doh or what

What is your preferred cam software for this? We got the same machine recently and having a hard time with mastercam doing a good job of making programs thay dont have to be extensively edited by hand.

can you make a videon recast layer of inconel or stavax?

Great channel!

Are there any job vacancies? I have 19 years of experience in progressive dies in Indonesia

Hi sir m from India.. Nice sharing sir...keep it up

$50k - $100k a year ... = $25 - $50 per hour

Interesante y muy ilustrativo el proceso de fabricación de una pz de metal.

Es la Industria de la transformación el verdadero pilar del desarrollo humano.
