Looking for some insight with this one...
My company does alot of tube and pipe bending... among other things. For years I have always thought about making our own tooling. We spent about 5K for a set of dies that only does 1 thing...
Just for kicks, what am I looking at if I wanted to produce tooling like this (shown below). No experience with a mill... Tons of experience in other areas.
What kind of equipment would I be looking at? I see mills for 10K... Models, Brands, etc...
Whats the average learning curve if this is all I wanted to do?
Am I way off on this one?
Thanks for any direction.
