Machined or Fancy Dies
 Solid milled dies or “fancy dies” are machined from a solid piece of high carbon steel or other tool steel. They are generally CNC machined, milled, routed or EDM wire cut, depending on the degree of accuracy required in the final components or part being cut. Once machined they are heat treated in our modern heat treating furnace as is done with forged dies.
 Typically these dies are used in cutting small, intricate or very close tolerance parts where forged or pre-sharp dies are not practical. The cut depth on these dies can vary, depending on the depth required by the customer. These dies have been used in the cutting of products such as gaskets, foam components, leather parts, inserts in forged tooling, multi-axis trim systems and RF heat sealing tools.
