I am trying to learn all I can about the deep draw process. My end goal is rifle bullet jackets. But they have to be the absolute best that can be made.
I am a cnc machinist and programmer (mastercam) of 8 years but I'm not a tool and die guy. I am looking for learning material and knowledge. I will take all recommendations of the entire process, design, equipment, tooling, High production low production I want to learn.
One of many questions is: How are the dies made? What machines make them? I have been looking for an excuse to buy a universal tool and cutter grinder. Jig bore, edm? Best practices of running the equipment?
To make the best I would venture to say, material, process, tooling.
Any and all help is much appreciated.
Thank you.
