Trumpf , pullmax dies

Hey all , just purchased this trumpf machine last week , gotta start the grind now to find some dies for it essentiallly looking for some forming dies , doming dies and beading dies , if any leads to attain these would be helpful , thx in advance

 

Used to have one similar, a cs75 I think.....the electronics were screwed up,so we set it up for fully manual operation, worked well after that. You can make tooling for it just like a pullmax. (We have the Trumpf top louver punch still in our box...will swap...)

 

You can make you own or adapt plannishing hammer dies for lowers, here are some pics of mine, http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/album.php?albumid=32930
I'll put more on as I get time. For more metalshaping info check out www.metalmeet.com and www.allshops.org tt

 

Go to Ebay and type in pullmax. Terry Stalarski has some dvds for sale telling how to make tooling and has some tooling for a pullmax. I bought the dvd and have made some tooling for my P-5 There are more out there you just have to look. Like TT says look at www.allmetalshaping.com, www.metalmeet.com Steve

 

X2 for Terry Solarskis DVDs. Also, Fay Butler has a book out that is also very informative. You can make just about any set of tooling imaginable.

 

appreciate all the comments was looking at Fay Buttlers book already ,
