Special Purpose Dies

Special Purpose Punches and Dies

Hemming dies, Goose Neck die punches for channel making, and Offet Bending die sets.

General Purpose 90° Forming Punches and Dies

Commonly used for forming 90° bends. Forming bends greater than 90° is also practical by air bending. The press brake ram is adjusted to limit the depth of punch travel into the die to obtain the desired bend angle.

General Purpose 30° Forming Punches and Dies

Acute Dies are the most universal type of press brake dies. Recommended as a starter set. Make air-form bends from 30° to shallow bends, and also for first operation set in hemming.

Tonnage Requirement Chart

Goose Neck Shaped Forming Punches
These Gooseneck Punches are ideal for channel forming in 2 strokes, or for making special shapes wherea straight 90° punch would interfere. Dimensions show width of face and length of return flange. Any further cutback beyond the center line will increase the length of return flange, but reduces work capacity of the punch.

General Purpose Hemming Die Set
Hem is completed in 2 strokes on 18 gauge and lighter mild steel.

Number 34 - 18 Gauge	Number 35 - 18 Gauge

General Purpose Flattening Dies
Flattening Dies are used to complete a hem or to bend to a given degree of closure a previously formed acute angle. 2 dies are used, both of the same part number.

Offset Dies
These general purpose Offset Dies form two 90° bends at one stroke. Sizes shown are suitable for mild steel up to 18 gauge. Other metals and heavier gauges of mild steel can be formed depending on size of offset and press brake capacity available. Dimensions shown clearly illustrate the amount of offset from inside to outside of metal thickness.
