Ganged Wire-Cut Die Insert Bar with Seventeen Positions
A long die holder carrying a row of seventeen identical wire-cut inserts, each with a bore and a profiled tip, seated in a milled channel. The number that controls this part is the accumulated pitch across the full row.
Material
Tool Steel SKD11, 58–60 HRC
Tolerance
Accumulated pitch ±0.01 mm across 17 positions
Process
CNC Milling, Wire EDM
What This Part Does And What Matters On It
The function of the part, the features that carry the fit, and the requirements that decided how it was machined and checked.
A long die holder carrying a row of seventeen identical wire-cut inserts, each with a bore and a profiled tip, seated in a milled channel. The holder is milled; the insert profiles are cut by wire EDM so that every position has the same geometry and the same corner radius.
The controlling dimension is the accumulated pitch across the full row. Each insert is measured individually, and the assembled row is measured end to end, because an error that is small on one position becomes a misfeed at the seventeenth. Where the inserts are hardened, the profile is cut after heat treatment so the finished feature does not carry the distortion of the furnace.

Have A Part Like This On Your Drawing?
Send the drawing with the material, quantity, and the tolerances your inspection actually checks. Owen reviews it against how this part was run and comes back within 24 hours on business days with a price, a lead time, and DFM notes before you commit to anything.
How This Part Was Machined
Holder milled soft; inserts rough milled, hardened to 58–60 HRC, then profile and bore wire cut after heat treatment so the finished features carry no hardening distortion. Inserts made interchangeable within the set.
How This Part Was Checked
Each insert profile and bore measured individually; the assembled row measured end to end for accumulated pitch.

Every Quote Comes With DFM Notes
Owen reads the drawing before pricing it: tolerances that add cost, features that need a second setup, finishes that change lead time. Send a STEP or PDF with the material and quantity, and the quote reflects what is actually machinable, within 24 hours on business days.
Material Certificates And Inspection Reports Travel With The Parts
Tell Owen which records your receiving inspection needs: mill certificates, first article report, CMM report, certificate of conformance, or all of them. They are agreed at quoting, not requested after the parts arrive.
Have A Similar Part? Send The Drawing.
A STEP, IGES, or PDF file with the material, quantity, and the tolerances that matter is enough to start. You get a price, a lead time, and manufacturability feedback from a real person, not a bot.
