neutral  BristolTEc: The plural of the "dado" type of die is dice. The range of mold types (dies) could be troqueles, cuños, matrices or moldes, but not dados I think. - Point taken on the grammar side, Mike.

  -> Actually, the plural can be "dice" or "dies" as I have shown up above. I am not saying this is necessarily the correct option; however, it is not grammatically incorrect. Please read above. Thank you - Mike :)
