A method for aligning the process tools of a typical box blank die-cutting machine. The method contemplates the use of alignment openings 21 and 22 on the surface of male and female tools 19 and 20 corresponding to a cut through-hole 16 on test sheet 14. As test sheet is urged through the process, a series of alignment cylinders, 18, 24 are used to insure each of the male and female tools and test sheet are aligned by having the alignment cylinders fall cleaning through the various alignment openings and through-hole. Once the tools at each position of the process are aligned, alignment screws 31 and alignment members 28 on the machine frame 25 serve to fix the position of the tools relative to the position of the sheets to be die-cut, stripped and blanked. Accordingly, the method contemplates alignment and set-up of the machine based upon the urged position of the sheets to be etched and cut.
