Precision Hard Milling At Feintool Delivers Faster, Better And Lower Cost Results
The Challenge With nearly 60 years of experience in the neblanking market, Feintool is well known for neblanked parts production, neblanking presses, and technical expertise in supporting customers with the research and development and prototyping of neblanking tools. Due to the intense pressure of the neblanking process, tooling used within Feintool’s presses are typically composed of 64 HRc hardened steel. Many of the tools also contain extremely ne features, such as small teeth, which require highly repeatable processes within 10 microns. For many years, Feintool was able to achieve this level of precision using only labor-intensive hand- nishing procedures. Feintool recognized that in order to reduce lead-times, improve quality, grow capacity and reduce costs, the company needed
