Flatbed Die Cutting Steel Rules

Die cutting isn’t one size fits all process. Various steel cutting rules are offered to suit all flat bed die cutting requirements. Special heat treatment gives these rules a particular grain structure and a soft, ductile outer skin, which allows excellent bend ability from 30°to 90°. In addition, these rules provide excellence of storing and long die life thanks to the properties of the edge/through hardened rules and rust proof treatment.

CF Centre Face, Single Bevel
Center Face bevel has become the norm for cutting standard packaging materials.

CFDB Centre Face, Double Bevel
This type of cutting bevel reduces the cutting force when cutting hard / thick materials such as glass fibre reinforced laminates, leather, cork, rubber, jigsaw puzzles, corrugated board, plastics, plywood. CFDB bevel is recommended for multi-layer cutting, when the thickness of the material exceeds the length of the first cutting bevel.

SF Side Face, Single Bevel
SF bevels are best suitable for cutting thick materials where a straight / vertical cut is required.

SFDB Side Face, Double Bevel
SFDB profile offers the same benefits as CFDB bevel when cutting thicker materials. The substrate is left with a square 90° cut edge and all the distortion from penetration is left on the material waste.
