Stripper
Stripper. Tooling used to remove the waste metal in blanking or trimming operations. During blanking the skeleton strip hangs up on the plunger after it pushes a blank through the aperture in the plate of the die block. A stripper is a tool that holds the strip in place while the plunger withdraws.
