DIES-METAL WORK

Dies: Their Construction and Use for the Modern Working of Sheet Metals.
By J. V. WOODWORTH.

A most useful book, and one which should be in the hands of all engaged in the press working
of metals; treating on the Designing, Constructing, and Use of Tools, Fixtures and Devices,
together with the manner in which they should be used in the Power Press, for the cheap and
rapid production of the great variety of sheet-metal articles now in use. It is designed
as a guide to the production of sheet-metal parts at the minimum of cost with the
maximum of output. The hardening and tempering of Press tools and the classes of work
which may be produced to the best advantage by the use of dies in the power press are fully
treated. Its 515 illustrations show dies, press fixtures and sheet-metal working devices, the
descriptions of which are so clear and practical that all metal-working mechanics will be able
to understand how to design, construct and use them. Many of the dies and press fixtures
treated were either constructed by the author or under his supervision. Others were built by
skilful mechanics and are in use in large sheet-metal establishments and machine shops.
