SLUG FREE® DIES SLUG FREE® DIES MATE SLUG FREE® DIES Mate Slug Free® dies eliminate slug pulling. Slug pulling is a condition where the slug returns to the top of the sheet during the stripping portion of the punching cycle. The slug comes between the punch and the top of the sheet on the next cycle. This causes damage to the piece part and the tooling. Slug Free® dies eliminate this problem. The Slug Free® die has been designed with an opening that has a constriction point below the surface so the slug cannot return once it passes this point. Once the slug is separated from the punch, it is...
