Stamping Dies

Custom Metal Stamping Dies for Stamping Services

Manor Tool builds single and multi-station progressive dies ranging from 48 to 96 inches with 400-ton press capacity. We design and build new tooling and support existing tooling with maintenance and repair.

Dies are precision tools made from tool steel or wear-resistant materials to cut and form sheet metal. Backed by over 60 years of expertise, our team creates tools tailored to exact part and process requirements.

Cutting is one of the most common processes performed with a stamping die. The operator feeds sheet metal between two die sections through a small cutting clearance. Force from the press reduces this gap, stressing the metal to the point of fracture and creating clean edges.

Common cutting operations include: Blanking, Lancing, Notching, Piercing, Shearing, and Trimming.

Coining flattens or breaks the burrs on the edge of a stamped metal part. It strengthens the coined section and smooths edges, often eliminating the need for secondary processes like deburring or grinding.

In-die tapping allows threaded holes to be created within the stamping process, eliminating the need for secondary tapping. This complex method offers substantial cost savings but requires specialized tooling experience.

Forming dies apply compression, tension, or both to shape sheet metal into parts. Bending, flanging, drawing, and stretching all fall under this process. The metal must meet strength and flexibility requirements for optimal results.
