Going through all the posts I haven't read and saw here are a couple of guys with machining backgrounds:

dragracer1951

exupturbo

gatecrasha

There might be more, but I haven't seen them.
Background: I am HoD of our CNC production department at Vesco Plastics (www.vesconite.com). We do all types of production machining of plastic parts. With a few developments I have been asked to help build a new plate die for our extruding department. Now I'm not a toolmaker or anything, just an ordinary turner that doesn't stand back for a job and believes that a job needs to be done first time right.

Now, question:

I need more information on coathanger and fishtail manifolds.

The plate sizes will be from 5mm thick x 600 wide to 50mm thick x 500 wide. If anyone can help me I will be gratefull.
