“One thing I often see is press operators putting the die on and just turning up the pressure, regardless of the material they’re cutting and the configuration of the die,” Fouts explains. “Every die requires a different amount of pressure.”
Once an operator has determined the lightest level of pressure that will keep the die working well, there will eventually come a time when that pressure needs to be turned up. Dies wear down over time, so when this occurs, increasing the pressure slightly to a “level 2” amount is expected.
