Die Makers Handbook (Volume 1) [Arnold, Jerry] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Die Makers Handbook (Volume 1) Review: Great hand book for Toolmakers - This handbook is a must have for all Toolmakers, apprentices to Journeyman, as it contains some very unique information for the trade and is written in a simple to understand fashion. Review: ... parts to be stamped from metal then I can't recommend this book enough - If you are considering designing parts to be stamped from metal then I can't recommend this book enough. It reads as a 101 manual on how to avoid easy mistakes designers might make (from the die makers perspective). Everything reads as if an old-timer is giving you great nuggets of knowledge learned the hard-way over an entire career of die making and putting up with CAD jockeys who have never made a part themselves. These days every high schooler and CS student wants to design parts in FreeCAD or what-have-you to save the world, this gives you info on how to make life easier on the shop doing the actual manufacturing. Making their life easier means your parts are more likely to have less rejects and cost you less money during the prototype phase. The other side of this coin is for folks making dies from other peoples designs. Again, it gives you tips on how to work around design issues and still get a correct part stamped out. I can't recommend this book enough for either job, die designing and die making.

Best Die Makers Resource
This book has been a great resource for designing and repairing die. I have numerous stamping die books and this one is the best for getting answers fast.

A good read
I liked this book as it breaks down a lot of issues in plain shop language and is not too heavy on the engineering side. It makes it digestable and has a lot of good information for the tool and die machinist.

A DESIGNERS MUST
This book offers a comprehensive information package that guides the reader through pertinent facts that make it clear yet simple to understand the principles of metal forming and working.The book is packed with formulas that simplify complicated tooling problems that occur when melal is formed. This book was written by a group of acomplished highly respected Tool & Die Journeymen who pooled their years of experiance of the trade togeather into one compact, resource, handbook.
