How to Check the Quality of Rotary Die Boards (Rotary Shells)

When producing rotary dies, the quality of the rotary wooden shell directly affects cutting precision, machine stability, and tool life.

Here’s a simple 5-step guide to help you identify high-quality rotary die boards from inferior ones — fast and accurately.

Step 1: Inspect the Surface

Check the outer appearance for wormholes, scars, or cracks.
✅ Smooth surface, no wormholes or scars → High-quality board
❌ Rough surface, visible holes or cracks → Reject immediately

Step 2: Measure Thickness

Use a caliper to measure multiple points.
The standard tolerance should remain within ± 0.2 mm.
Uniform thickness means better balance and laser-cutting precision.

Step 3: Check the Bottom & Middle Diameters

Measure both ends of the cylinder:
Acceptable deviation range = −3 mm to +2 mm
This ensures the rotary board fits perfectly on your die-cutting drum.

Step 4: Test Curvature & Length

Place the shell on a standard jig to test curvature alignment.
There should be no visible gaps, and the length must be accurate.
A perfectly curved board ensures smooth rotation during production.

Step 5: Conduct a Laser Cutting Test

Perform a rotary laser-cut test to evaluate edge quality.
Smooth, clean edges after laser cutting = high-density, stable shell suitable for long-term die-making use.
