Tooling Construction
It's also important to know how your current roll form tooling is built. Many times roll form tooling is built in a way that allows it to be recut easily. A roll tooling set that is built with many splits or individual pieces is better-suited for recutting than a set that has a one-piece roll construction (see Figure 2). One-piece roll construction does not allow for easy changes, and if a change or wear in the roll form tooling is extensive, replacement is required.
