As discussed by The Fabricator in their expert article “Die Science: The basics of die design, Part I – Choosing a die set”, a reliable die set is the foundation of any effective stamping operation—and choosing the right one is critical.
A die set consists of two precision-machined plates—typically steel or aluminum—that house all working die components.
