Custom punch and die references
Custom punch and die references
(OP)
I'm needing to make a custom tool for punching and shearing aluminum parts. It's been years since I did this and I'm looking for forums where I can gather information about materials, techniques, vendors, etc. Any help would be appreciated.

My guess is that you are located in the US. Europe has probably a wider selection of specialized producers, with broader innovation and export. My advice is to include a search of Europe suppliers, perhaps especially Germany.
Suggested starting point, not necessarily to visit fairs:
