ABSTRACT:
A die structure for use in a tool which crimps or cuts a workpiece between relatively moveable jaws of the tool on which the die structure is securable is particularly structured for durability when used to severe high tensile strength cable such as guy wire and other multi-strand cable. A pair of die structures in accordance with the invention each has a cutting edge formed on a die body, and in a preferred embodiment, the cutting edges have aligned engagement surfaces which are flat and elongate to provide a pinching action which fractures or severs the workpiece usually before the cutting surfaces meet. The flat cutting surfaces provide improved durability over sharp cutting edges, and are preferably heat treated to promote further durability in severe cutting surface. The die structure, installed preferably on the stationary tool jaw, also includes retaining structure secured on the die body adjacently spaced from the cutting edge and arranged to support the workpiece engageable thereagainst to prevent deformation or splaying of the workpiece at the supported position during severance by the cutting edge at adjacent location on the workpiece. In a preferred embodiment, the retaining structure includes a pair of spaced support walls laterally arranged on the die body relative to an intermediate position of the cutting edge. In another embodiment, one of the die bodies has a half-cylindrical cavity for reception of a workpiece, and is not provided with an impinging or cutting edge so that the diametrically opposed cylindrical cavity walls provide lateral support particularly of a multi-strand cable which prevent or minimize splaying thereof during impingement by a single cutting edge which projects, preferably an arcuate configuration, from the other die body.
