Whether you need a cutting die for labels and mail or medical care, Best Cutting Die has a solution. When crafting our ready-to-go and custom dies, we complete our processes in-house for complete control over every step of the process, from manufacturing to delivery. These turnkey capabilities provide you with high-quality, durable products and quick turnaround times.
Our in-house die-cutting services allow us to provide better products and service without relying on outside sources.
By using hand forging, heat treatment, cryogenic chilling, and high-tech CNC equipment, our in-house process ensures a quality product each time. We handle every part of the process on-site.
In addition to hand work, we frequently add and upgrade equipment. Skilled technicians oversee our 40 pieces of CNC equipment and over 100 machines. These innovations provide automated services and ensure precision shaping and fast service. With large capacities, we can craft dies up to 26 inches in diameter and 120 inches in length.
Our CNC machines can perform functions like:
At the beginning of the process, workers hand-forge the dies from steel. Hand-forged cutting dies provide a sharper edge, making them a more durable product. We chose hand-forging for our cutting die process for that durability and other benefits, including:
All our forged cutting dies are also tempered in our in-house salt bath to a depth of 20-25 mm. This treatment process means that our cutting dies can be sharpened approximately twice as many times as other dies, and it leads to less distortion and more uniform products.
Our in-house heat treatment processes and on-site vacuum furnace allow us to heat treat a variety of die sizes.
All Forged Cutting Dies are tempered in our in-house Salt Bath to a depth of 20-25mm (approximately 1/3 of total height). Added depth allows BEST Dies to be sharpened approximately twice as many times as Dies made by other suppliers, and the salt quenching causes less distortion and produces more uniform and consistent hardness.
The Salt Bath heat treating process allows us to achieve a consistent hardness on the cutting edge of the hand-forged die, while allowing our customers to easily work with the back-half of the die when needed. Due to the fact that salt can attain very high temperatures (> 700° C), and because it displays remarkably uniform heat-transfer characteristics, molten salt heat treatment is considered to be the die tooling best choice in hardening hand-forged cutting dies.
