Press Tool & Die Manufacturing in Gurgaon
We support press tool manufacturing in Gurgaon for blanking, piercing, bending, forming, and development tooling required by industrial and sheet metal production teams.
From Tool Concept to Tryout
Our press tool and die manufacturing in Gurgaon covers the full development cycle — from strip layout and tool design through machining, fitting, heat treatment coordination, and production tryout. We build blanking tools, piercing tools, bending dies, compound dies, and progressive dies for sheet metal manufacturers, automotive component suppliers, and electrical equipment vendors across Gurgaon, Manesar, and Delhi NCR.
Tool profiles — punches, die inserts, and stripper plates — are machined on CNC VMC and finished using wire-cut EDM and surface grinding for the dimensional accuracy that production tooling demands. Punch and die clearances are set to 5–12% of material thickness, profiles held to ±0.01 mm, and critical surfaces hardened and ground before assembly. This level of control directly affects die life, cut quality, and rejection rates in production.
We also support the ongoing side of tooling — die sharpening, punch replacement, alignment correction, and rework for tools that have drifted after extended production runs. For many sheet metal vendors, maintenance turnaround matters as much as new tool lead time. We work with both requirements.
Tool Steels & Technical Specifications
Die life, edge retention, and rework frequency all depend on steel selection. We work with the right grade for each application.
| Parameter | Specification | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Tool steels used | HCHCR, D2, H13, EN31, EN24 | Grade chosen by material and volume |
| Punch/die clearance | 5–12% of material thickness | Per DIN/IS standards |
| Sheet thickness range | 0.5–8 mm | Harder materials on request |
| Die profile accuracy | ±0.01 mm on punch and die | Wire-cut and surface-ground |
| Estimated tool life | 50,000–500,000+ strokes | Depends on steel grade and maintenance |
| Lead time (new tool) | 15–25 working days | Drawing review to tryout |
| Lead time (repair/rework) | 3–7 working days | Sharpening, correction, modification |
How Tool Profiles Are Machined
Die accuracy depends on the machines used for profiling. Competitors who only use conventional milling cannot hold the tolerances that wire-cut and surface grinding deliver consistently.
Wire-Cut EDM
Punch and die profiles are wire-cut for ±0.005 mm accuracy on complex shapes, internal corners, and hardened tool steel that cannot be conventionally milled.
CNC VMC Machining
Die blocks, backing plates, and stripper plates are roughed and semi-finished on CNC VMC before hardening and precision grinding.
Surface Grinding
All mating faces, punch holders, die plates, and shut-height components are surface ground to ensure parallel, flat reference surfaces.
Cylindrical Grinding
Round punches, guide pillars, and bush bores are cylindrically ground for press-fit accuracy and smooth pillar-bush sliding action.

Development Flow
Press Tool FAQ
What types of press tools do you manufacture in Gurgaon?
We manufacture blanking tools, piercing tools, bending tools, forming tools, compound tools (blanking + piercing in one stroke), and progressive tools for multi-stage sheet metal operations. We also support development tooling and stage-wise process builds.
What tool steels do you use — HCHCR, D2, or H13?
Steel selection depends on the application. HCHCR is used for general-purpose blanking and piercing dies. D2 (high-carbon, high-chromium) is preferred for longer-life production tooling where edge retention matters. H13 is used for hot-work applications. EN31 and EN24 are used for punches and guide elements.
Can you make progressive dies for high-volume sheet metal stamping?
Yes. Progressive dies combine multiple operations — blanking, piercing, bending, forming — into a single tool with sequential stations. Each press stroke advances the strip and completes one or more features. This reduces handling, improves consistency, and lowers piece cost significantly for volumes above 10,000 pieces. We support progressive die development for automotive bracket families, electrical enclosures, and appliance components.
What accuracy do you hold on punch and die profiles?
Punch and die profiles are machined to ±0.01 mm using wire-EDM and surface grinding. Clearances are set to 5–12% of material thickness per standard practice, with tighter clearances for fine-blanking applications.
Do you repair and sharpen existing press tools?
Yes. We support sharpening, regrinding, reworking, and correction of existing press tools. This includes restoring punch faces, correcting die alignment, replacing worn sections, and adjusting clearances after long production runs. Repair turnaround is typically 3–7 working days.
What is the lead time for a new press tool in Gurgaon?
New tooling development from drawing to tryout typically takes 15–25 working days depending on complexity. Simple single-operation blanking or bending tools can be faster. Progressive tools with multiple stations take longer. We provide a timeline estimate after drawing review.
Do you use wire-cut EDM for punch and die profiling?
Yes. Complex punch profiles, die inserts with internal radii, and profiles in hardened tool steel (D2, HCHCR) are wire-cut for accuracy that surface milling cannot consistently achieve. Wire-cut EDM holds ±0.005 mm on profile dimensions and does not stress-relieve hardened steel the way conventional machining does.
