What Is a Nick Grinder?
A Nick Grinder for die making is a specialized tool used to grind small notches (nicks) into steel rule cutting blades. These nicks help:
- Prevent sheets from falling apart too early
- Control material separation during die cutting
- Improve stripping efficiency
- Reduce production waste
Proper nick depth and consistency are critical to die performance, which is why precision control is essential.
Nick Grinder for Die Making
Key Features
Adjustable Nick Depth Control
Different cutting jobs require different nick strengths. This machine allows operators to easily adjust nick depth using a control screw, ensuring:
- Accurate and repeatable results
- Better control over material holding force
- Compatibility with various die-cutting applications
Nick depth should always be determined according to die design. Excessive depth may cause abnormal grinding wheel wear and reduce tool life.
Pneumatic Hand Operation for Flexibility
This Nick Grinder for die making is pneumatically powered and hand-operated, making it ideal for:
- On-bench die processing
- Quick adjustments and repair work
- Workshops requiring mobility and ease of use
The lightweight structure helps reduce operator fatigue during extended use.
Variable Speed Motor Control
A switch located at the rear of the device allows operators to:
- Start or stop the motor easily
- Adjust grinding speed as needed
This ensures smoother grinding and better control when working on different blade thicknesses or materials.
Stable Positioning for Accurate Grinding
During operation, a locating device helps position the grinder precisely on top of the steel rule. This ensures:
- Consistent nick placement
- Reduced risk of slipping
- Cleaner, more uniform grinding marks
To create a nick, the operator positions the tool using the locator and presses the grinding wheel steadily and quickly against the cutting rule blade.
Applications
This Nick Grinder for die making is widely used in:
- Carton box die production
- Corrugated packaging dies
- Label and folding carton dies
- Die repair and modification work
It is an essential tool for die makers who need precise control over sheet holding strength and cutting performance.
