JET 1005952 Radius Lower Die PH-24A PH24A-24-2

Product Overview:

Designed for use with the PH-24A planishing hammer, the JET 1005952 Radius Lower Die PH-24A PH24A-24-2 provides the lower forming surface used to support and shape sheet metal during planishing operations. Its 24-inch radius profile establishes a defined contour for forming broad, gradual curves. As part of the planishing hammer tooling assembly, the die works with the opposing tooling surface to support controlled and repeatable metal-forming operations.

Material Forming:

The 24-inch radius forming profile supports sheet metal as repeated hammer impacts progressively develop the required curvature. The defined contour provides a consistent forming reference while the workpiece is gradually shaped through successive impacts. This allows broad curved sections to be developed while maintaining a consistent forming profile.

Impact Load Distribution:

The lower die provides a stable forming surface that receives and distributes the forces generated by repeated planishing impacts. As the opposing tooling strikes the sheet metal, the die supports the material against the applied load while maintaining the defined curved profile. Consistent load distribution helps prevent localized distortion and allows the sheet metal to progressively develop the intended radius during repeated forming passes.

Replacement Guidelines:

Replacing the Radius Lower Die PH-24A PH24A-24-2 if it is cracked, chipped, deformed, excessively worn, or damaged in a way that affects proper forming performance. The SKU 1005952 should be verified before replacement to ensure the correct die is selected. Replace the die if deterioration affects proper alignment, workpiece contact, forming accuracy, or normal operation.

Common Signs of Wear:

Visible wear across the forming surface.

Chipped or cracked edges.

Flattened or distorted radius profile.

Deep scratches, dents, or surface damage.

Irregular contact with the workpiece.

Surface imperfections transferred to formed sheet metal.

Equipment Compatibility:

The JET 1005952 Radius Lower Die is intended for compatible JET press brake equipment requiring the specified PH-24A / PH24A-24-2 radius lower die configuration. Compatibility should be confirmed by matching part number 1005952, the complete press brake model information, and applicable parts documentation before purchase. Verify the die configuration, mounting interface, press brake tooling requirements, and equipment specifications to ensure proper fit, secure installation, and normal forming operation.

• What is the JET 1005952 Radius Lower Die used for?

  It is a forming-tool component used with compatible JET equipment to support material shaping operations.

• How does a radius lower die support forming?

  It provides the lower forming surface that works with the mating upper tooling to create the required material shape.

• What are signs that a lower die may be worn?

  Visible surface wear, deformation, damage, or inconsistent forming results may indicate die wear.

• Can a worn lower die affect forming quality?

  Yes. Excessive wear or damage can affect material positioning and contribute to inconsistent forming results.

• Why is the correct lower die important?

  The correct die ensures the tooling matches the machine and forming application for proper operation.
