Last week we bought a Trumpf TAS500 nibbler/cutter etc, mostly to use for basic sheet cutting and chopping holes in LX cabinet doors. Like this..
Since the purchase I've realised this is an absolutely superb and versatile machine. I've already had some very useful links and suggestions given down in the social section but thought I'd ask here, for any info or suggestions on appropriate tooling and techniques people might have for using this plant.
Our particular requirements would include - cutting shapes in sheet, cutting straight lines, beading, lipping, hole cutting (square and round). We have no obvious need for making compound curves/stretching etc, but hey, who knows when we might need to build our own hydraulically driven hot-rod.
All the normal nibbling/slotting/tooling, plus louvre cutting tooling has been supplied, but i'm interested to know how best to use it and what other bits might be handy.
Any pics or plans or info on tooling shapes would be very helpful. We've EN24T coming out of every orifice, plus treatment ovens and fortunately, CNC mills, so making tooling isn't a problem.
Cheers
