Die Sharpening Shims


When a cutting die is used, it becomes dull.  Routine maintenance to sharpen the die will grind off a small amount off the face of the cutting surface.  To keep the cutting surface at the same location in the die press, a shim or shims are placed behind the die.  Rentapen’s shims are made to order, precision shim stock, 300 series stainless or 1010 full hard mild steel.
