Before you call

Tool and die: the short version

Making and repairing dies, molds, jigs and fixtures, often with wire and sinker EDM.

When you need it

  • A new die or mold for a part
  • Fixtures and jigs for your line
  • Repair of a worn die
  • Tight cuts only EDM can make

What to send the shop

  • Part drawing and CAD file
  • Material of the part
  • Expected quantity
  • The old die, for repairs

Typical lead time

One Houston die shop says repairs take 4 to 6 business days on average.

Ask the shop

3 questions worth asking

  1. Q1

    Do you build and repair, or only one?

  2. Q2

    Who owns the tooling?

  3. Q3

    Can you work from a sample part?

Questions

Tool and die FAQ

How big a die can Houston shops handle?

PolyTech Hard Chrome works on dies from 4 inches up to 120 inches.

Who does wire EDM in Houston?

Reliable EDM cuts parts up to 64 inches tall and 10,000 lbs. Kiger Machine also makes custom dies.

Good to know

  • Send the CAD file. Die makers price from the model.
  • For a repair, send photos of the wear first.
