Machined Die Pubblico Deposited
- Machined Die. A die cut by machine, by a die-engraving pantograph (or one electrically or chemically etched, as by edm). Machined dies are in contrast to hubbed dies. Because the grain structure is different hubbed dies last longer in production runs than machined dies.
