Buyer FAQ

Common questions about Gauges

How long does a new injection mould take?

Typically 6 to 14 weeks for a single-cavity production tool in the UK, depending on complexity, steel grade and try-out cycles.

Should jigs and fixtures come from the same toolmaker?

Often yes - the toolmaker who knows your part can design the inspection or assembly fixture around the same datums, saving rework.

Hardened or pre-hardened steel for production tools?

Pre-hardened (e.g. P20) suits lower volumes and easier modification; through-hardened (e.g. H13, S136) suits high-volume tools and abrasive materials.
