Molds

Our molds are made of P20 tool steel that is hardened, ground and polished, then chrome-plated with the option of teflon coating. Typical molds have one to four cavities. Various sizes are available. Dies are EDM wire cut from solid tool steel.

The mold's inside surface is perpendicular to the cutting edge and polished. This insures that test specimens are cut to uniform thickness. Dies are designed to be resharpened. Both molds and dies meet most national and international standards such as ASTM, DIN and ISO.

Cutters can be supplied to standard dimensions as indicated by ASTM D-412. Other dies, in other dimensions and for different standards, also available.
