Vogel Tool & Die USA

TBC

Vogel is the manufacturer of two-blade cut-off dies from 25.4mm OD maximum capacity up to 152.4mm OD. Due to economic conditions and the demand for lower-tech tube cutting, the company has recently noticed a surge in international demand for its products. Vogel’s two-blade cutting dies have many key benefits. The company’s cutting technique produces easily recoverable slugs (not chips), thus avoiding chips removal and the additional handling prior to processes such as mandrel bending or piercing. Tooling is easily sharpenable and perishables are far lower cost that most other competing processes. The cutting operation is as simple as pushing a tube through the die, with an adjustable micro-switch stop automatically cycling the press. With rising labour costs and difficulties in finding employees suitably trained for high-tech equipment, many companies

are switching back to this type of ‘low-tech’ cutting technique. Vogel also manufactures tools for tube and pipe coping, piercing, and custom application. Website : www.vogeltool.com
