Stainless (SPS), that has seen good success in the marketplace
among mold base manufacturers. Mold bases manufactured with SPS
offer high machinability to provide both high productivity and
longer tool life, thus reducing costs.

probably 10,000 to 15,000 hits before the die broke. With
the Toolox 44, we did 254,000 hits on the die insert."
