<p>[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2526173, member: 1892"]The reason multiple die pairings happen with individual dies is, they pull the "bad" die for amelioration, and pair the remaining one with a fresh companion to keep production flowing. By the time the pulled die is ready, its' former mate has worn out. Using Morgans as an example, as long as there's no problems you would be lucky indeed to get more than three days' production in the complete lifetime of a die. Today's presses are capable of four times that rate, and a die's lifespan is probably one shift these days.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
