Product Description
by Joseph V. Woodworth (Author)
"Punches, Dies and Tools" is a 1907 handbook concentrating on the use of 'dies', specialised tools used in manufacturing industries to cut or shape material mostly using a press. Like moulds, dies are generally customized to the item they are used to create. Products made with dies range from simple paper clips to complex pieces used in advanced technology. This timeless and profusely-illustrated volume will appeal to those with an interest in metal work, and it would make for a fantastic addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: "Simple Bending and Forming Dies; Their Construction, Use, and Operation", "Intricate Combination Bending and Forming Dies, for Accurate and Rapid Production", "Automatic Forming, Bending, and Twisting Dies and Punches, for Difficult and Novel Shaping", etc. Many vintage books like this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the subject of metal work.
