Progressive Die Maintenance & Repair
Planned regrinding and fast repairs that keep burrs low, dimensions stable and your press line running.
A progressive die is a long-term asset. With planned maintenance it produces good parts for years. Without it, burrs rise, dimensions drift and breakdowns stop the line. Our Vasai tool room maintains the tools we build and helps keep other tools in shape.
Signs your tool needs attention
- Burr height rising on cut edges
- Strip misfeeds or pilot problems
- Slug pulling or punch breakage
- Dimensions or bend angles drifting out of tolerance
- Noisy or rough press operation
What we do
- Regrinding of punches and dies on a planned schedule
- Clearance correction to bring burrs back within limits
- Replacement punches and inserts cut on our CNC wire cut EDM
- Alignment and guide checks for smooth strip feeding
- Trial after repair on a press, with sample parts before the tool goes back into production
Preventive, not just breakdown
For high-precision jobs, we regrind cutting elements about every 50,000 strokes so edges stay sharp. A planned schedule costs far less than an unplanned stoppage. Ask us to set one up for your tools.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you repair a tool built by another toolmaker?
Share photos, the part drawing and a description of the problem. We will assess it and tell you what can be done before you send the tool.
How often should a progressive die be reground?
It depends on material, thickness and tolerance. For high-precision jobs we regrind cutting elements about every 50,000 strokes. We can help you set a schedule for your tools.
