Not every metal fabrication firm builds its own Class A dies. Master Fab does so because we believe that customers should enjoy the superior precision, longer tool life and greater productivity of Class A without the extra lead times an outside supplier would tack on. Master Fab Class A dies are produced in our tooling shop to the highest specifications:

• Made using ASI type A2 or D2 tool steels
  
• Built with precisely fitted strippers, interchangeable die inserts, backburn effects to minimize burrs, and exacting clearances
  
• Standard tolerances are +/- .005” on hole size, hole-to-hole and hole-to-edge dimensions
  
• Hole size and hole-to-hole tolerances can be held as high as +/- .0005” if needed
  
• Copy location in relationship to any die cut feature or part edge normally is +/- .010” but can be as close as +/-.0005”
  

Making your own Class A dies isn’t inexpensive, but it pays in the long run...and Master Fab is definitely a long-run type of company.
