Abstract

Disclosed herein is a rotary cutting system, components for the system, including a die board and a scrap ejector, and methods of assembly of the system and components. The system includes a die board including a substrate and a scrap ejector. The die board includes at least one oblong fastener receiving hole that receives a fastener to couple the die board to a die drum. The oblong shape of the fastener enables movement of the die board relative to the die drum after insertion of a plunger through a hole in the scrap ejector and into the die drum while the fastener remains within the oblong fastener receiving hole and an aligned recess of the die drum. The die board is rotatable such that the hole in the scrap ejector is no longer aligned with the plunger, preventing the plunger from exiting the die drum through the hole.
