Custom Metal Fourslide & Multislide StampingOur customers say "The Perfection Advantage" is what sets us apart.
Many customers seeking a traditional "Stamping" are often surprised to find we recommend the design and manufacture of a “Fourslide Stamping”, rather than a traditional progressive die tooling. A Fourslide, also known as a Multislide, is a unique piece of machinery that can manufacture close tolerance parts very economically due to its high run rate. We have the ability to design and manufacture Fourslide tooling to accommodate small stamped components, from flat stock, or intricate Wireforms from round or square wire. And, since 1955 we offer more than just a part! Each project comes along with proven procedures and processes as part of the “The Perfection Advantage”, including:
- Service and Security
- Engineering Excellence
- Products and Processes
- Buyer’s Benchmarks

Many people familiar with Fourslide machines believe that it can do everything a punch press can do...and more. To put it simply, a Fourslide machine is a stamping plant in itself. Though the tooling is complex, and may seem a bit expensive at first, often the cost savings in piece price by eliminating costly secondary operations can be quickly made up for the high tooling cost. In certain situations, a Fourslide or Multislide machine and process is recommended over a Punch Press method of manufacture. Usually, a part produced from a Fourslide machine is more cost effective than parts manufactured with traditional progressive die on a Punch Press. Generally, a "Slide" part uses less material than that of a progressive die. Also, a more complex part can be produced complete without additional secondary operations. Often, tapping, chamfering, or staking operations can be designed into the tooling, which ultimately leads to a significant cost savings. Fourslide Stamping & Wireform Photo Gallery
