Fab Supply's VEE-LOCK® Adjustable Dies significantly outperform the standard shim-style adjustable dies in both productivity and durability. Their unique design allows them to provide a high level of functionality in a wide variety of forming applications. Unlike the shim-style adjustable dies that require the operator(s) to lift shims in and out of the tool to change the opening, the VEE-LOCK® Adjustable Die simply requires the operator to loosen the stripper bolts. As the stripper bolts are loosened, the saddle blocks are automatically lifted, thereby disengaging the locking channels at the bottom of the saddle from those located in the base plate. The saddle blocks, which glide on cam rollers, can then be moved easily and safely into the appropriate position. Once positioned, simply tightening the stripper bolts will re-engage the locking mechanism, and the die will be ready for use.
