IDM-C0024-V
The IDM Cutting Die is engineered specifically for rigid and semi-rigid materials, serving as the benchmark tool for preparing standard tensile "dumbbell" test specimens.
Designed to deliver smooth, micro-crack-free edges, this die eliminates structural stress concentrations during sample preparation, ensuring highly accurate and repeatable mechanical test results.
From thick extrusion mouldings to thin flexible sheets and heavy-duty piping, the cutting die provides total geometry compliance across major global standards.
Precision Cutting Performance - Crafted from high-impact tool steel with advanced bevel geometries, the die effortlessly handles complex composite materials and high-density polyolefins while maintaining a long-lasting, razor-sharp edge.
