Lead Edge Supports

Useful in cases where cutting issues or deflection arise after the tooling is already in use

Lead Edge Supports

Lead Edge Supports, also known as rule supports, are used to strengthen and stabilise cutting rules—particularly at the lead edge where the rule first enters the material. They are especially useful in cases where cutting issues or deflection arise after the tooling is already in use.

These supports can be retrofitted easily, providing a practical solution without the need to modify the original die. Secured in place with simple screw fittings, they help maintain cutting accuracy and prolong the performance of the die. Standard Lead Edge Supports measure 9mm x 40mm and are ideal for reinforcing vulnerable or high-wear areas within a die board setup.
