Over View

WESSEX TOOL AND DIE LTD was started by John Woods and Bob Mael. We have been together for eighteen years utilising wire erosion for the manufacturing press tools and jigs and fixtures for various industries and have gradually built up a base for sub-contract Wire erosion. Our skills are also utilised on surface and cylindrical grinding milling turning jig-boring and also special purpose machinery involving automated pressings and assembly. Also batch and “one offs" of general precision engineering components.

Presswork

We have in-house PRESSWORK production capacity with our 80 Tonne RHODES RM80 and our 40 Tonne HME power presses. With these we have the facility to run either strips or coil fed or single operation from blanks as required.

Design is done in house and this coupled with our wealth of experience allows us to produce the tooling for small or large quantities and also produce prototypes and prove parts before commencing full production.
