Get my 'Hold Strong' Shirt: rlnk.cc/paskmakesholdstrongshirt When I asked in my recent Parser drill video whether I should make this Punch and die video there were a lot of requests for it. So here it is, hopefully you enjoy it I had a great time making it. Also Thanks to Corin for sending me the steel ( instagram.com/corin_at_gameco/ ) and Luke for helping with the heat treat ( instagram.com/make_smith/ ).
Hey, I work on industrial punches for a living. A few fine points: There should always be a clearance between the punch and die; soft stuff like brass and aluminium wants about 5% of material thickness, 10% for mild steel, and maybe more for hard stuff like stainless up to about 20%. Also, you only need 1 mm of penetration into the die, as the material snaps off before then. Another point, is that the force required to break through is totally dependent on the perimeter of the cut, not the surface area, so to minimize the force required for the cut, you can grind an angle on the cutting face, so the whole thing isn't brought to bear at once. Keep up the good work, that was another in a long series of great videos.
Excellent info. Do you need a relief angle on the punch (as in, not have the sides of the punch parallel with the direction that the punch moves) or is it ok for the punch to have parallel sides?
That's really awesome info Jeff, thanks for that. I did know about the clearance and did plan to mention it but forgot. I didn't feel I had the ability to work to those sort of tolerances with files and knew there would be some sort of clearance as I wouldn't be able to get the fit super precise. The force required is interesting. I wasn't super confident it'd work but I'm very happy with the results. :)
@@benash2954 yeah, you don’t need a draft angle like a mold, straight sides work great. The cut itself is a totally 2 dimensional thing. All the work takes place right at the intersection between punch & die
Paint the faces of your file guide with layout fluid or permanent marker ink. It buys you a few file kisses that you can easily see before hitting the carbide
It was actually really cool to see this process. I work in a metal stamping factory and run various presses, but I've never seen how a die is made. I also tend to work team presses, they hit at anywhere from 250 to 600 ton. They can go higher but all the parts I've made on the big presses usually fall into that range
Making a Punch and Die _by hand_ to punch out sheet metal is very impressive. You have to be very precise to get proper looking results and your punched out pieces look amazing!
Nice project, reminds me of my apprenticeship as a tool and die maker in the 1970's. During the apprenticeship we also had to make those tools by hand using files. The first 6 months was really filing only (more or less) before we learned machining. Your tool looks well done and it does the job nicely. Btw if you would have hardened the punch before you could have used the punch and you press to precisely make the die. It also look to me that you made the gap between the punch and die just right. Although the exact measures of your logo inlay are really not important. The gap is dependent on the thickness of your sheet metal and the shear strength of the material you punch,
Wow! Don't even imagine that it was possible to make punch and die with file! But I guess this is how it was done before milling machine, CNC or wire cutting . Great job, as usual Thanks for sharing
I too enjoy a bit of filing it's soothing and calms my nerves didn't know other people enjoyed it, thought I was weird lol. Loved the outcome. Great work
Wow Neil, I already had severe workshop envy. It's now been compounded along with a feeling of technical inadequacy! I love your channel and your wonderful talents.
Amazing project again Neil! The patience and skill in these projects is very respectable. I also really enjoy that you have taken up metal work as well, just another way to express your creativity, keep it up! 👌🏻
Awesome. Another (potential) idea would be to make the punch a teeny bit smaller than the die, and use black (or other color) CA or epoxy to give it a little outline pop.
Great Die work, and great Patience Filing!! Couple of things: If you were to drill a Hole for a Pin to locate the top Cutting Die -- it would save a Future loosening of the screw holding it , getting skewed, and possibly ruining the cutter edge. Also , I would have drilled and counter sunk some socket head cap screws for the base die, again Pinning it in place with at least 1/8" Pins, again to make it rigid, and to save all that welding and side screwing action. If you are determined to use that process, slightly angling the screws in a downward angle would cure that Lifting problem. Subscribed!
On your file guide you should counter sink your bolt heads and use some button head Allen screws that will sit below the surface. That will allow you to get it in the vice all the way.
Thanks - I have nothing against CNC's though and maybe something I'll look at in the future. I don't think a CNC would get a lot of use in my workshop but would be handy for certain projects. :)
Excited to see you got the mill up and running. Looking forward to seeing some wood & metal chips getting cut on it. 👍👍 You could also use the punch to stamp you logo into a project too.
Love it. I am reasonably knowledgeable about woodworking, and can figure out most ww projects. But you are teaching me about metalworking, and I could see myself doing some of this. Thanks so much.
I find it so fulfilling to get answers to questions I never knew I had, never having given thought to how this sort of "incidental" inlay (as opposed to marquetry/inlay) was done. Thank you for the education as well as for the entertaining quality of your videos.This is one of the most "watchable" channels on TH-cam, one I am very pleased to have discovered!
It's really interesting to watch how the punch & die are made; it's a process I've never seen before. Along with the Parser drill, it's a cool way to make your logo cutouts. Whether it's a project for something you need, or something that just seems like it'd be cool to try, your projects never fail to be great.
D2 is the AISI classification, and the equivalent UNS classification is T20812. High Chromium grade tool steel. Source: My trusty and timeless Machinery's Handbook (31st Edition)! Very good for tool and die work! Awesome video, subscribed!
Outstanding video! Well done. I believe the “D” in D2 Steel has to do with the composition. While it’s true it’s often used in die making, the D indicates that it’s a “Chromium Based” High Carbon Steel. Keep up the great work!
Its high carbon too. If you look k110 you should be able to find a data sheet. I personally much prefer k455 but different strokes for different folks!
That is awesome!! Starting to think that there is no limit to your creativity and ability to learn new skills 🤔 Definitely a great thing as we all love watching those skills being put to work 👍👍👍👍👍
so happy to see it come to life and be optimized in such a way! Thank you for sharing again and teaching us all about a technique and its wonderful details
Nicely done Sir! Learned a few things too. Now I'll need to figure out what memory's I lost to make room for the "D2" info PLUS all the rest I've seen and heard for the first time!
Nice make, and a cool marker! I have never seen a marker like that. I searched and found that it's an "Empire long tip black marker" available only in Austrailia!! You have a lot of patience with a file my friend! Rock on!
I burst out laughing at the rubber sound effects! Excellent video, I must have missed the last one with the drill-any-shape tool, I'll have to go back and see it too!
hi, I'm am ex Toolmaker and when I was in my trade we used to use Copper Sulphate for marking out, it can be bought on the net as in crystal form and mixed with distilled water, it actually makes up a light blue liquid and when applied turns a copper colour (it is recommended to mix the crystals with battery acid, but this is hard to get hold of) and the water mix is safer anyway. You simply need to clean the face to be marked out with emery cloth and then not touch it with your fingers again until after the copper sulphate has dried. Your scribe marks will stay clear until you you have finished your filing and machining.
I just found you last week with the Parser drill video. And today this punch & die video. Your stuff is amazing. I'll have to go through your archives and see 'em all!
Great work Neil!! Brought back memories and thoughts of my grandfather, I never knew him very well because of geography, however, he was a tool and die maker. (probably learned his craft during the war (WW2) effort.) As I was watching this I wondered how he would have fabricated it. (??) You got-er-done!
I do not understand anyone giving a thumbs down on this, also why 94 plus thousand views and only 6 thousand thumbs up. People do not appreciate craftsmanship and art anymore. This is what the world has became.
Wow, Neil, that was great. Your shop has all the fun toys and your skills are matching. Well done, Mate. And yes having an inlaid logo on something you make, makes it even better!
You could also get some printable acid resist paper and etch in the rest of you logo or numbers if you're someone who likes to number pieces. I did that in my jewelry class in college and it's really easy and fun. Add in a little patina and an etched logo looks awesome!
8:16 is soooo satisfying. If you add a tiny bit of relief to the sides of the punch and the back of the die, the bits will pop out more easily , and you'll get a better edge finish fwiw.
My God, do you have some serious tools! Half the fun of watching is discovering tools I never knew existed. Who knew there was such a thing as a file guide? I will be purchasing one post-haste.
Just a thought to stop the die from lifting: Drill a shallow conical divot into the sides of the die where they meet each holding screw, a fraction (maybe 0.5mm or less) higher than the screw holes you tapped in the side pieces. Grind a corresponding point/cone onto the end of each screw. and when you tighten the screws they'll pull the die down, kinda like draw-boring a tenon joint.
As always excellent work. Also love Your photos they are amazing, very professional. Wish I had access to some of the machinery you use, even just for a couple of days. Ever thought about making some basic tools and selling on your website. Things like brass setup blocks, set squares. Then stick your own logo on them.
I assume someone else has already commented this but I didn’t see it, d2 is called d2 because it is a deep hardening alloy meaning instead of a skin layer of material hardening when it’s quenched, it hardens much deeper due to the chromium content and carbon content and its added thermal conductivity. This is why its so great for large items like dies due to the fact that it can reach max hardness throughout the material with an air quench which is a much less aggressive quenching process. It’s formulated to harden even when a large piece with tons of thermal innertia has to be heat treated throughout the part. Dies large gears, stamping dies and drill bits and large shear blades and stuff are the most common applications. Its an engineering marvel of a material.
I would pay just for a piece of Aussie wood to arrive in Greece with a piece of (Chilean... most probably?) copper "in" it, carried on a boat across the Pacific to rust a bit, then on a plane to cool "high", and maybe some trucks to "traffic smoke" it... Oh boy, it will smell like half of this world! Even if it comes the other way around... Thanks mate, great vid and effort in general. Be well. PS Next time use your "expensive" file please... 😋Nice one mate, gave me a good laugh!
I worked in a heat treatment facility for years, and theres three or so main grades. A, which is air hardening steel, O, which is oil hardening, and D, which is a high carbon chromium steel made for tools. Theres some other like H, which are usually an air hardening tool stool meant to keep their temper while working at high temps which is what brings me to this comment, as most of the dies ive heat treated over the years were H13 or S7, which is more shock resistant for forging dies usually.
Impressive! You may find that the cyano lets go of the brass over time. I use it sometimes to fixture parts for drilling etc. then just crack the parts apart afterwards. Good old 24 hr. Araldite is my choice if I want glued metal bits to stay put forever. You could mention that the red rubber is polyurethane which makes for a simple "stripper plate". Wonder if you could use pre hardened and tempered SAE 4140 also known as P20? Machines fairly well and could be flame hardened on the cutting edges.
1:57 its always better to leave too much material than too little. especially when working with wood. if u cut to the exact dimensions u have no room for error and cant sand too much. i see this a lot where ppl make pieces to exact measurements but do some light sanding and when they try to match the pieces there is a small cap since they dint count in the sanding and stuff
I think it would have been interesting to see you make a milling tool a la Clickspring or ThisOldTony. From what I could gather it doesn't look like it would have been any harder

grate idea
FILE KISSES
aww
Your patience with a file is remarkable. Excellent work sir!
LOL You've never seen Chris from Clickspring, have you?
Btw I agree with you. Neil makes really fantastic pieces of art!
good tools help a lot
Truer words have not be spoken

Where about to write the exact same thing 😀, I was one of the last in Denmark that learned to make dies with a file when I was an apprentice.
Always enjoyable to observe as you walk through your projects. Great result!
Thanks June - glad you enjoyed it! :)
You, sir, are an artist with a hand file. Kudos and hats off, gentlemen, a master at work!

one of the
reasons I like Pask so much is he does not peg himself into any particular mold. He is a maker in the true sense of the word,

Super cool as always! I love how you always make all the accompanying stuff for all your big projects, like the Parser drill in this case.
Thank you for building and posting this video of your punch and dye. I'm so glad you decided to make it in the end. Brilliant work!

That rubber collar was a genius touch! I was thinking it'd be in a jigsaw style. Like a fixed "fork plate"
I stole that idea from Jim Steele and gave it to Pask.

You have admirable skills and fabrication tools. And your friend down the road too!
Amazing project! Thanks so much for sharing.
Really nice work there. Human water jet 😃
that's a neat way of adding a makers mark. You could also punch initialis into the brass for further identification
I worked in a heat treatment facility for years, and theres three or so main grades. A, which is air hardening steel, O, which is oil hardening, and D, which is a high carbon chromium steel made for tools. Theres some other like H, which are usually an air hardening tool stool meant to keep their temper while working at high temps which is what brings me to this comment, as most of the dies ive heat treated over the years were H13 or S7, which is more shock resistant for forging dies usually.
Master of detail...
That's a beautiful logo, consider putting it in a visible location on your finished work.
Watching a craftsman build is rather calming.
While the parser drill is probably my favorite of your videos this takes it a whole new level. Nice one.
Impressive! You may find that the cyano lets go of the brass over time. I use it sometimes to fixture parts for drilling etc. then just crack the parts apart afterwards. Good old 24 hr. Araldite is my choice if I want glued metal bits to stay put forever.
You could mention that the red rubber is polyurethane which makes for a simple "stripper plate".
Wonder if you could use pre hardened and tempered SAE 4140 also known as P20? Machines fairly well and could be flame hardened on the cutting edges.
Tu sei fantasticamente matto. I realky enjoy watching your videos
Best way to add a logo Ive seen! Nice work
Yes, yes I enjoyed that very much! Nicely done!
Wonderful and ingenious as always.
Fantastic. Information I will certainly be using in the future. Cheers J
Glad it was helpful Joshua! :)

Dude - Absolutely great vid. Elegant and functional. Than you.
Very nice Jop Pask!! I love this project. Simply genius!
I think it would have been interesting to see you make a milling tool a la Clickspring or ThisOldTony. From what I could gather it doesn't look like it would have been any harder
That's great! With most of the woodworkers and metalworkers having CNCs nowadays, it's relaxing watching you do it manually very patiently.
That makers mark being brass is awesome.
Would be a really cool way to make brass pins of your logo!
Already onto it, pin backs ordered. :)
Wow, that is pretty precise work. And what a cool way to mark your pieces!
Facinating and remarkable, Neil. That was brilliant and also fun to watch.
That looks so cool
very very good job
cool process love the stopper zoonk hahahaha
I like the T-shirts. This is how the guys with the tattoos also get a personality.
You are a genius
