As shown in, thin pins 5a, 5b, 5c and thick pin 4a
Is deformed in the V-groove and the plane of the upper mold 1, so that it is desirable that all the above-mentioned gaps be 0, that is, close to the close contact. This deformation is preferably within the elastic limit for Hertzian contact. In this embodiment, these pins are made of cemented carbide, and the upper and lower molds 1 and 2 are made of alloy steel. For the sake of clarity, it is assumed that CA = CB and that the triangle formed by the V groove and the plane is an equilateral triangle. Under this condition, all the pins move downward by ⅔ of the amount projected from the imaginary line at the time of mold contact. This reduces the V groove depth accuracy error to 1/3. In order to secure this accuracy, the V groove is 6
It is preferably formed within 0 ° ± 15 °.
