Sorely needed in the market.

I started my early career in a Tool & Die shop that made both casting patterns and dies used for automotive stampings. The size of the mills and presses is massive. I was assigned to the area that had a 12 foot bed, 5 axis CNC that was used to cut tooling for the side aperatures that span the entire lengh of the car. That mill was also used for cutting the really long roof panels for Minivan's.

Bravo to you for working up to tooling up a complete front fender. Tooling for a whole quarter panel isn't cheap. Not many people realize the amount of work that goes into making a stamping.

Keep going!
