Cosmetic finish tooling for CNC punch presses

In response to a request to apply a cosmetic finish to components from a turret punch press, Wilson Tool International of Swindon has developed a special tool to produce a hexagonal surface pattern.

In response to a customer request to apply a cosmetic finish to certain components produced on a turret punch press and avoid the cost to purchase specially finished material and suffer any extended lead time for supply, Wilson Tool International of Swindon has developed a special tool to produce a hexagonal surface pattern.

The tool was originally developed for use on a Trumpf punch press.

However, tools can be produced by Wilson to create a wide range and combination of cosmetic shapes and finishes as part of the automatic CNC cycle for all types of punch presses in material up to 1.2 mm thickness.
