Die cutting knives

.918 for cutting. 912 for scoring with matrix

Thank you very much Ted.

.918 is what most on this forum use it keeps the adjustment from print to cut at a minimum However .937 is the most common die cutting rule height in the industry. I suggest you get first die made with .918 cut rule.

Hi Ted 918 cut and 912 crease on a cut and crease die is okay for .005 stock like a bond or are you referring to separate operations? I make a lot of greeting card, folding carton and presentation folder dies and for 10-12 pt cover 918cut and 900 vrease is most common.
