Thank you for your videos. My father made cold-formed parts at J.L.Thomson of Waltham Mass, USA back in the early 1970's. Then I was too young and not able to see what he did. Your work gives me insights of his craft back then. The factory was closed in the late 70's. Demolished and is now an office park. There is art and engineering in how to press shape into wire. That I understand.
What speed are you running looks like 1 a second so 60 parts a minute so about 3600 an hr is it that slow because your not using oil on the transfers??? I'm curious why the speed it so low I make ford nuts and we run are setups 150-180 ppm
On this design, We don't use oil to cool in molds & Punchers . Even when we made Hex Cap Screw. Molds hate OIL , I think 😂 But when using Stainless steel *Oil is a Must * Tty this method in any Steel wires . Stay Safe , MIT Bolt
I do stainless m10 x 1.50 nuts and yeah oil is a must for the soap coating gums up everything quickly if not cleaned properly with steel wool wrapped in rags around the wire before the material gets to the feed rolls
The guys who design and build these tools are unseen and unappreciated geniuses

Im surprised you didnt need to do any rotations for the blanks to make a thru hole sleeve. Impressive
You are great, brother
Thank you so much 😀
❤ please sir show your machine dies step by step thnx ❤❤❤❤

We found out on this design that * Slow Running * Machine is more Accurate and Less Damage in Dies ..
Thanks for watching

@mitbolts okay I got you but what about the oil for the transfer fingers? 🤔
