 Adding Value to your Parts Rolling Flare
By Don Angel, Applications Engineer
Issue: You have internal or external flanges that require secondary processing, additional tooling, and produce inconsistent results.
Solution: Use your turret punch press to roll this flange/flare into the part. Along with a variety of other wheel tools, Wilson Tool provides a Rolling Flare Wheel to form more aggressive edge flanges.
Typically, multiple passes are required to gradually create the form.
Rolling Flare Wheel
After adjusting the tool settings in the control, consistent forms can be made and eliminate the secondary processing required previously. Murata supports the use of all wheel type tools in our machines.

The End is Near!
2009 Tax Savings Ending Soon
With the recession and the 2009 tax savings ending soon, now is the perfect opportunity to save before time runs out.
Tax incentives given to businesses to help pay for manufacturing equipment under the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act of 2009 will end December 31, 2009.
What can the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act of 2009 do for your company?
- Significantly reduces you tax liability.
- Gets Uncle Sam to help pay for your income producing equipment!
How does this Economic Stimulus Plan benefit your company?
- The Government increased the Section 179 deduction to $250,000.00. This can be on new or used equipment.
- In addition, the left over balance above this $250,000 may qualify for the 50% Bonus Depreciation in the first year. This is only on new equipment.
- In addition, companies can deduct their Standard Depreciation (usually over 7 years) on the adjusted basis after the Section 179 and Bonus Depreciation.
Example with Equipment Same purchase
Cost of $450,000 in 2009: in 2010:
Section 179 Deduction: $250,000 $128,000
Bonus Depreciation (50%) $100,000 $0
First Yr. Standard Depr. $14,290 $46,013
TOTAL TAX SAVINGS $364,290 $174,013
More simply put, in 2009 if your company is in a 34% tax bracket, its actual savings would be $123,858.60. This savings could make up to 15 to 20 months of payments based on a five-to-seven year loan or finance lease.
For more information on the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act or for a finance quote on your next purchase, call: 877-626-9300 Ext 101 or 102
