Dies Engineered for Precision
Pioneer-Dietecs manufactures cutting dies with multi-axis traveling-wire electrical discharge machines (EDM). All Pioneer dies are EDM'd inside and out for uniform, controlled bevels to enhance sharpness and minimize cut-part distortion. Custom dies to proprietary specifications are also available. All dies are available in stainless steel.
Pioneer-Dietecs offer sharpening service for reconditioning, sharpening, re-certification and archiving of the maintenance log for an ISO paper trail.
Solid Milled Clicker Dies
A solid milled clicker die is a very accurate, strong cutting die that produces close tolerance precision parts. Pioneer Solid milled clicker dies are CAD-designed, machined with wire EDM, and/or milled on our CNC machining center.
Materials cut with solid milled clicker dies include:
- Gaskets
- Medical Products
- Industrial AeroSpace Parts
- Electronic Components
- Flexible Circuits
- Tags

Forged Clicker Dies
Standard clicker dies are an excellent choice for many cutting applications of soft to semi-rigid materials. They are produced with a forge bent and welded blade and then heat-treated to suit the application and material.
Materials cut with clicker dies include:
- Cloth
- Rubber
- Foam
- Plastics

Steel Rule Dies
A steel rule die has a bent piece of steel rule cutting blade embedded in a laser produced die board. Depending on the nature of your cutting applications, many blade and board types are available to achieve a large range of cutting results.
Common materials cut with steel rule dies
- Paper
- Corrugated Board
- Packaging
- Boxes
- Puzzles

Solid Milled Punch Dies
Solid milled punch dies cut many materials and can be used either individually or as inserts into larger cutting dies. These dies are machined from a single piece of tool steel with no welds. These dies are excellent for producing small accurate parts or building complex details into larger cutting dies.
For more information or to order, call 781.682.7900 or email us.
Mallet Handle Dies
A mallet handle die is basically a conventional cutting die with a handle welded or fastened to it. The cutter holds the die in one hand and strikes the handle of the die with a rawhide mallet held in the other hand, forcing the die through the material to cut without a die cutting press. This is the oldest method of die cutting that is still used today in situations where production levels don't warrant the purchase of a cutting press.
Common materials cut with mallet handle dies:
- Leather
- Fabric
- Rubber
- Paper

Specialty, Combination & Hybrid Dies
Specialty, combination and hybrid cutting dies are built for special applications that can't be met by one of the standard dies. Cutting requirements may require that components from two or more of the die types listed above be incorporated into one cutting die.
At Pioneer Dietecs, our many years of die making and die cutting have given us the experience to effectively combine the best aspects of many parts of industry technology into hybrid tooling that precisely meets the needs of your most demanding applications.
