WE SPECIALIZE IN QUALITY … EVERYTIME

A Steel Rule die is made from pre-hardened and pre-sharpened die steel set into a die board to maintain the nesting orientation. It has a low to medium dimensional tolerance. The die height ranges from 23.8 to 50mm (.937 to 2.0 inches).

It is used for large parts or parts with large production runs and is typically used in an incremental cutting system. It can handle one or many layers of material depending on the material thickness and the height of the rule in the die.

Steel rule dies manufactured by ODI are making substantial contributions to the success of die cutting programs in automotive leather cutting, tri-laminate, leather goods, textile, plastic, rubber, and foam parts industries throughout the world.
