MN tubing dies give the manufacturer the ability to maintain a uniform tube roundness, wall thickness and minimize material usage.
MN tubing dies are customized to match your requirements. We can help you with engineering the correct drawing die size and geometry that will create the tube with the correct diameter and correct wall-thickness. Let us know your tubing requirements and have our engineering team design the drawing dies for you.
MN offers a complete line of drawing dies for manufacturing tubing.
MN tubing dies are manufactured to your specifications with a mirror polish and a smooth wire entry to ensure optimal die life.
