Tooling for sand casting foundries, from a single prototype pattern to production match plates, plus poured urethane, machining and metal fabrication.
A specialty of the shop
We design and pour custom urethane products and equipment. The shop builds the molds in-house, so a part can go from your drawing, sample or idea to finished urethane under one roof, poured to the shape and hardness the job needs.
Loose patterns for hand molding, cope and drag pattern plates for split-pattern work, and mounted patterns for machine lines. Built with the draft, shrink allowance and machining stock the casting needs.
Cope and drag mounted on opposite sides of one plate for high-volume molding. Tight registration between the halves keeps flash and mismatch down at the parting line.
Boxes for the internal passages and cavities of a casting, with core prints sized so cores seat and stay put during the pour. Built to suit the core process your foundry runs.
Runners, gates and risers designed or built to your foundry's practice, so metal fills the mold cleanly and the casting feeds as it solidifies.
Worn tooling restored, broken patterns rebuilt and design revisions cut into existing equipment. Repairs are scheduled to get you back to pouring quickly.
Quick-build patterns for first articles and small batches, so you can prove a casting before committing to production tooling.
CNC and manual vertical milling for patterns, core boxes, pattern plates and machined parts, from large tooling-board work to close-tolerance metal.
Turning for round patterns, core prints, bushings and machined parts, so round work comes off the lathe true and ready to mount.
The same shop that builds your tooling can cut, weld and thread the metal work around it.
Steel, stainless and aluminum plate cut to shape for brackets, frames, flasks, plates and repair parts.
Welding for all metal types, from steel and stainless to aluminum and cast iron, for new fabrication and repairs.
Brazed joints for copper, brass and dissimilar metals, and for parts that should not see the heat of a weld.
Internal and external threads cut by tap and die, plus repair of worn or damaged threads.
Matched to how many molds the pattern has to make.
