 It's
not the price of the wiper die itself that makes it costly or inexpensive.
it's how the wiper die performs. A precisely machined TFB wiper die,
one that can be positioned quickly and is properly supported by the
bend die, will produce good bends, have a longer tool life, and will
be the most cost efficient. Conversely, the most expensive wiper die
is the one that takes longer to position, produces marginal bends,
requires frequent operator repairs, and has more down time than running
time. And it may even cost more.
TFB wiper dies are available for round, square, and rectangular tubes
and for shapes and extrusions. You can choose either Ampco bronze
or steel, with optional Kro-Lon© surface.

thumbnail Pressure the wiper's leading edge must deflect evenly all
around, often 0.005" to 0.010" ( 0.13 mm to 0.26 mm ). |
 |
| To prevent tube scratches
and prolong tool life, the new TFB wiper die finishing process provides
extraordinary polished tube grooves and C.L.R. machined surface. |

wiper die tips, available in aluminum bronze or alloy steel. Inventoried
