A compaction tool assembly is provided that uses multiple die cavities and a single compaction stroke for simultaneously forming multiple discrete powdered metal components. The tooling includes a plurality of punches and corresponding die cavities, and a single compaction stroke operates the punches to compact powdered metal contained by the die cavities to form the components. Preferably the punch pairs are arranged concentrically to balance compaction forces and die stresses.
