Slitting die tooling system for CNC punch presses uses a tough and wear-resistant premium tool steel for the slitting die blade to offer twice the regrind life of standard tooling.

The Wilson 2-4-1 Slitting Die system is the latest innovation developed by Wilson Tool. The 2-4-1 Slitting Die system offers twice the regrind life over a standard solid die. The Slitting Die blade is manufactured from Ultima, a premium tool steel which is tough and resistant, excelling in applications which demand long-term wear resistance and toughness.

Ultima can further extend the tool life by up to 400% compared with a standard die, representing considerable cost-savings on replacement tooling.

The special die insert, exclusive to Wilson Tool, is fully supported by the die base which is made of a special shock-absorbent steel designed to resist the repeated impact that can sometimes cause conventional dies to crack.

As the die insert is reground, the shims supplied with the assembly can be used to return the die assembly to the correct height.

When the die insert wears out, a new 2-4-1 insert can be purchased for less than the price of a standard replacement die.
