Important
questions to ask BEFORE you
purchase insert type form tools.
We know that making the decision to move from
conventional HSS, or brazed carbide, form tools to insert type form tools
is difficult. To try to make your job easier, we have listed the following
questions to ask your potential insert type form tool suppliers.
NOTE: If you are presently making your own form
tools, or having them made by a local form tool shop, make sure that you
will not be forced to stop this and become solely dependent on the insert
supplier! Somma Tool will sell you the blanks as well the Anvil spacers
that you can EDM to your form. We offer EDM fixtures for holding multiple
inserts at the proper clearance angles.
