The mold must produce an imperfection free sample
of uniform specified thickness.
The die must cut a specimen for testing that will
be the specified shape within dimensional tolerances (including thickness)
as indicated for the test in question.
Dies can be supplied with mallet handle for
fast, easy hand stamping of test specimens using a maul, or for use in
clicker presses. Special press adaptors can be produced upon request.

The inside surface is perpendicular to the cutting
edge and polished, insuring cutting of a test specimen of uniform standard
thickness. Dies are designed to be resharpened.
ASTM D-412 popular sizes C and D are standard, with
A, B. E, and F also available upon request.
Rotary type cutters are designed for use in standard
drill press chucks. Cutters can be supplied to standard dimensions as indicated
by ASTM D-412.
