Abstract: A rotary die and anvil system includes a rotary die having at least one blade for cutting a material and a bearer surface positioned on opposite sides of the blade. A rotary anvil is provided with a central shaft and a cylindrical body formed around the central shaft. The rotary anvil comprises of an aluminum filled epoxy resin. The rotary die drives the cylindrical body in a counter-rotational direction by frictional force exerted by the bearer surface positioned on opposite sides of the blade. The blade of the rotary die penetrates into the cylindrical body to sharpen the blade of the rotary die without deforming the blade.
