Vacuum die sets allow you to evacuate your die set before and during pressing by connection a vacuum line (not supplied) to the 1/4 inch hose connection. Choose your inner diameter (ID) from 6, 12, 25 or 50 mm. If you need another size - please order through our custom die set form.
The vacuum sets are made of D Tool Steel and operate much the same as our standard sets. If you are not connecting to a vacuum, then our standard sets are cheaper and come with less parts.
With your custom vacuum die set order we’ll include the following:
- 1x Die Sleeve
- 1x Plunger Rod
- 2x Spacers
- 1x Base plate
- 1x Vacuum fitting for a 1/4 ID vacuum hose (hose not included)
- 3x Rubber O-rings (already fitted)
- 1x Aluminum release ring with cutout for viewing pellet during release
