Custom Dies

For over half a century, Vogel has specialized in custom dies tailored to your special tube fabricating requirements. Dies shown on this page are just a few of the many types of custom dies Vogel offers. Because these dies are custom built, costs will vary with the application. Please fax us a complete part print showing all part details, tolerances, etc. Please include an estimate of your annual production needs. See some typical examples for special Vogel single and multi-operation dies below.
