The present application discloses a die cutter assembly which includes in combination a plurality of flat wood layers which support a steel rule die for cutting paper such as cardboard and like material. Metal hinge members are secured to opposed sides of the flat wood layers and each hinge member has a portion which overhangs the wood layers. A pivot member extends from each overhanging portion. A cover is provided which is capable of moving between a closed and an open position and this cover member comprises a flat surface which is adapted to engage the steel rule die for cutting paper interposed between the steel rule die and the flat surface of the cover member. The cover member has four downturned edges to fit around the top edge of the wood layers in the closed position of the cover member. Two of the opposed downturned edges of the cover member have elongated slots which respectively receive the pivot members from the overhanging portions of the two metal hinges to permit the pivoting movement of the cover member between open and closed positions. The elongated slots are vertically oriented in the closed position of the cover member to permit unobstructed vertical movement of the cover member relative to the flat wood layers so that efficient cutting of cardboard between the flat surface of the cover member and the steel rule die can be accomplished.
