A complete progression built on my bench: strip layout, die design, steel cut and ground, heat treat through an outside house I have used for twenty years, assembly, and tryout in your press until the part is in tolerance and the strip runs clean. Typical work is brackets, clips, terminal strips and small formed parts in steel up to about 3mm and stainless up to 2mm. Four station tools usually land between eleven and eighteen thousand, twelve station tools higher. I quote off your print and part volume, and the quote includes three rounds of tryout and one year of free regrinds on wear details. Forty percent deposit to cut steel, balance on a good first run. Lead time is six to eight weeks depending on heat treat backlog.
