The Thick Turret ‘Product Selector’ overview of each tooling system compatible with Euromac punch presses has nine different ratings.

They are charted for each tooling system, comparing factors such as quick set up, interchangeability, grind life, ease of use, value and purchase price.

Also included in the new catalog are a full range of forming tools.

These include: cluster tools, countersinks, electrical knockouts, and ventilation louvers with detailed explanations of what each form is used for.

Suggestions for appropriate material type and thickness range for each application are also included along with additional ideas on how to achieve superior results.

Fabricators will find that integrating formed features into sheet metal components using these tools greatly expands their ability to add value to the punching process.

An expanded ‘Tips and Techniques’ section includes recommendations for using forming tools, punching thin and thick materials, punching non-metallic materials, care and maintenance of punch guides, selecting die clearance and calculating punching forces, overcoming stripping problems, overcoming galling, combating material warp, maximizing tool life and much more.
