Questions
Tool and die FAQ
Will a Chicago tool shop take a rush job?
Some will. One Lyons tool and die shop takes rush and emergency orders.
Can the same shop make prototypes?
Some can. One Chicago shop takes stamping work from prototype to production.
Good to know
- Volume decides the tool. Say how many parts a year you expect.
- Keep the drawings and say who owns them in the quote.
