ABSTRACT
A nail cutter is most commonly used in day-to-day life. A nail cutter is made up of aluminum, plastic, and stainless steel. The
most common material used to manufacture the nail cutter body is stainless steel. The project is the design and manufacture of a
nail cutter body die. A nail cutter body die is used to manufacture a nail cutter body, which is further assembled in nail cutter
assembly. The die can be used up to 400 rpm.
Because of all, nail cutter parts made in china, for Indian manufacturers we are going to design and manufacture die for nail
cutter bodies. The main advantage of this die is the less wastage of material. Due to less material wastage of material can be
utilized properly and economically. The progressive type has simple in construction hence is easy to manufacture. A nail cutter
body manufacture through several operations such as piercing, cropping, bending, and cutoff.

Strip Layout: P=Perimentor Length of Cutting Edge
In this strip layout, there are six-station where different T=Thickness of Material
types of operations are performed and they are as In this case, the material we used is stainless steel
follows S=5.1118 ton/squre.cm
Station 1: Piercing operation: P=255mm=25.5cm
This operation consists of simple hole punching.it T=1mm=0.1cm
differs from blanking in that punching is the scrap (cut F=SPT
out blank) and the strip is the work piece. In the first F=5.118 x 25.5 x 0.1
station, there are five piercing operations performed F=13.045≅15tons
with different sizes of diameter 2.5mm and diameter As per standard, we can used 16 tons capacity. Machine
2.14mm, and a profile is made. can be used because 16 tons is the standard machine.
Station 2: Cropping Operation: 2] Scrap: strip layout for blanking, A scrap-strip
This operation is on the principle of cutting a shoulder Layout having insufficient stock between the blank, will
at the edge of the stock strip, which acts as a stop. A results in a weakened strip, subject to breakage and
strip wider than necessary is inserted into the shoulder thereby causing miss feed
built into the back gauge. The advantages of operation T=specified thickness of the material
are accuracy and speed of operation. In the second B=1.25t where c is less than 64mm
stage, we have created in which there is two cropping B=1.5t where C is more than 64mm
for maintaining speed running of strip and cropping. T=1mm
Station 3: Piercing Operation: B=1.5 x 1=1.5mm
In the third stage, there is a piercing operation C=88.5+1.5=90mm
performed cutting the shape of the component. 3] Die sets selection:

Station 5: Bending Operation: S=shear strength
In the fifth stage, bending operation takes the shape of L=blanked perimeter
the nail cutter by bending both components from the T=thickness
middle side. P=51.118 kgs
Station 6: Cutoff Operation: L=255mm
A cutoff operation separates the work material along a T=1mm
straight line in a single line cut. In the sixth stage of P=51.118 x 255 x 1
