gymcoachdon Pillar of the Community United States 717 Posts	Posted 05/30/2015 7:37 pm No error, VLDS stands for Very Late Die State, which means the die had been used for a long time and was worn out. Interesting, but no real added value. Report this Post to the Staff
koinpro Pillar of the Community United States 1781 Posts	Posted 05/31/2015 01:53 am VLDS is also used to describe dies that suffer from Premature Die Fatigue due to improper heat treat. The well-worn and premature get lumped together since both result in dies nearing their end. Edited by koinpro 05/31/2015 01:54 am Report this Post to the Staff
