Cutting Dies (Tool Steel)

The Tool Steel Cutting Dies can cut plastics, paper, textiles and rubber samples. These allow sample preparation along with cutting presses. So that they can meet the various international quality standards. We can customize these to meet your testing needs.

The cutting dies can be used in conjuction with various cutting machines. All the cutting dies strictly follow thier relevant standard guidelines and sizes. They are made with accuracy and detailed attention.
