Punch and Die SlugKeeper™ SlugKeeper™, Slug Retention Machine

SlugKeeper™, Slug Retention Machine

SlugKeeper™ is used to grind grooves in a certain angle and depth into the die opening. The grooves will produce a tang on the slug, which is distorted as it is pushed into the grooved die opening. Thanks to this distortion the Slug will remain in the die. The die and the slug from the following stamping process will push the slug through the die opening

The SlugKeeper is available in two versions.
Version 2 comes with a microscope camera and a tablet. 

 

Do not let slugs endanger and damage your work and your die any longer!
