Sheet metal ! How to decide, Tool will be Blank & Punching, Progressive Tool and Compound Tool!

A progressive tool is an alternative to the transfer press. With this tool, an entire series of machining steps can be carried out with a single press stroke. Progressive tools are designed for the processing of strip material.
Compound tool It is an inverted tool where blanking and piercing takes place in a single stage and also the blanking punch will act as the piercing die. That means punch will be to the bottom side of the tool and piercing punches to top side of the tool. The burr forms only one side.
