Shear type dies have been produced by Altman Mfg. Co., Inc. since
1945 and have some outstanding characteristics. The most important
is the extremely long life of the tool. Our customers report these
tools last eight to ten years with some sharpening. It is not
uncommon for a die which is 20 to 25 years old to be returned
for repair or rebuilding. Therefore, when a tool of this type
is ordered, it will last usually for the life of the job. Customers
have shipped our dies to other countries because they last and
run trouble-free for long periods. The dies are built with wear-resistant
tool steel and are hardened to 60 Rockwell. To cut rubber effectively,
our dies are produced with less than .0005" inch total clearance.
