Description
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 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
Materials
D2 Tool Steel: For most pellets this material will be perfect for the job. Hardened D2 tool steel (Rockwell hardness >C60) for long lasting trouble free performance. The sleeve is polished to high tolerance to allow hardened tool steel plunger to slide through perfectly. Plungers and spacers are made from high yield strength steel, machined and polished to high tolerance for the perfect fit. Interior surfaces are ground to mirror-like finish. Release ring is made of aluminum.
Pressing Loads
Safety
- Always wear googles and safety protection equipment.
- Always press using a safety guard.
- Do not apply pressure above what is shown on table above.
- Make sure the plunger is fully engaged before pressing.
- More force does not always mean better pellets.
- Increasing with a higher force increases the chance of breakage.
