Simple die also known as a single operation die, the simple die is a shaping tool that performs one operation per press slide stroke. This type of die is typically used for smaller applications in the workplace. For example, it may be useful for the manufacturing of simple metal parts.
The benefit of a simple die is that it’s an excellent option if you’re looking for a tool that can handle blanking and piercing jobs. It consists of a die block and stripper plate, which hold onto the metal sheet while the punch cuts a hole and removes the blanks.
The main downside is that the simple die is less efficient and less suited for larger applications than other dies.
