DIE - ENTIRE PRESS TOOL EMPLOYED TO STAMP AND FORM PARTS
FROM SHEET METAL, ASSEMBLE PARTS TOGETHER, AND PERFORM
A VARIETY OF OTHER OPERATIONS. IT ALSO REFERS TO THE LOWER
HALF OF THE PRESS TOOL, i.e., THE UNIT WHICH IS CLAMPED TO THE
BOLSTER PLATE OF THE PRESS. THE WORD PUNCH REFERS TO THE
ENTIRE UPPER HALF OF THE PRESS TOOL, MORE SPECIFICALLY, IT
REFERS TO ANY SO-CALLED MALE SECTION WHICH PUNCHES OR
FORMS METAL WITHIN A FEMALE SECTION,THE FEMALE BEING
KNOWN AS A DIE SECTION. THIS ARRAY OF DEFINITIONS STANDS UP
QUITE WELL IN MOST DIE WORK, ALTHOUGH IT TENDS TO BECOME
CONFUSING IN SOME AREAS OF THE TRADE. FOR EXAMPLE, IN A
COMPOUND DIE THE PUNCH SECTION IS MOUNTED IN THE DIE AND
THE DIE SECTION IS MOUNTED IN THE PUNCH.
