Method of making a counter-die cutter, adapting unit for a milling machine and milling machine comprising this unit

A method of making a counter-die cutter (2) for a die cutting machine comprising a die cutter (1) and a respective counter-die cutter (2), the method comprising the steps of:

• a. acquiring a digital drawing of a die cutter (1) to be made, said die cutter (1) being provided with comparing means;
• b. acquiring a digital drawing of a respective counter-die cutter (2) to be made;
• c. providing a wooden support (3) of the die cutter (1);
• d. making a plurality of comparing means on the support (3) of the die cutter (1);
• e. making the die cutter (1);
• f. detecting the position and/or orientation of the comparing means of the finished die cutter (1);
• g. comparing the detected position and/or orientation with corresponding position and/or orientation of the comparing means being in the digital drawing of the die cutter (1);
• h. modifying the digital drawing of the counter-die cutter (2) on the basis of the detected differences to adapt the digital drawing to the finished die cutter (1);
• and
• i. making the counter-die cutter (2) on the basis of the modified digital drawing.
