A broaching unit for rules of die cutters which comprises a supporting structure, for example a frame, a guide of a die cutter rule, and a tool-holding arm equipped with at least one broaching tool is described. The guide defines a sliding surface on which the rule is fed intermittently. The tool-holding arm is mounted on the supporting structure and is susceptible to reciprocating movements with respect to it and with respect to the guide, preferably forward and backwards movements along a transversal direction of the rule, just to intercept the die cutter rule with the broaching tool when the rule is stopped. Advantageously, the tool-holding arm is equipped with at least two broaching tools, for example four tools, and can be oriented with respect to the guide, for example can rotate on itself, to selectively activate one of the broaching tools, i.e. to bring one of the tools into contact with the rule.

It is described a method for producing a laminar male die(l) of the interchangeable type, for printing Braille characters (4) on yielding supports. The method comprises the step of punching the metal foil (2) that forms the body of the male die to obtain a plurality of first points in relief (3) on a first face of the foil. The first points define one or more characters in Braille alphabet. The method comprises the further step of punching the metal foil to obtain at least two second points ( 5,6, 7,8) in relief on the other side of the foil; the second points in relief are aligned with corresponding receiving seats of an outer male die-holding support.
