A modular die board apparatus comprises a plurality of rectangular support plates mutually positioned in an abutting relationship along peripheral edges. Each of the support plates provides a plurality of evenly-spaced apart, first apertures arranged in rows adjacent to, and in parallel-with, the peripheral edges. A plurality of fasteners, each providing parallel, spaced-apart legs depending from a bridge are adapted for frictional engagement with one of the first apertures in each of two adjacent of the support plates so as to hold them in rigid abutment and alignment. The support plates have a plurality of second apertures alternately spaced with a plurality of linear cuts forming a selected pattern within the support plates. A plurality of die impact effectors such as scorers and cutters are removably engaged within the second apertures and linear cuts and extend above a top surface of the support plates for contact with a workpiece.
A modular die board apparatus comprising a plurality of rectangular support plates mutually positioned in an abutting relationship along peripheral edges thereof, each of the support plates providing a plurality of evenly-spaced apart, first apertures arranged in rows adjacent to, and in parallel-with, the peripheral edges;
A modular die board system comprising a plurality of rectangular support plates providing width and length dimensions held to an incremental dimension, each subset of the plurality of rectangular support plates mutually positioned in an abutting relationship along peripheral edges thereof, each of the support plates providing a plurality of evenly-spaced apart, first apertures arranged in rows adjacent to, and in parallel-with, the peripheral edges;
