Although the sizes are not marked on the mold, it is clear that they are different.
The diameter of a bar can be made in four different ways: 8mm, 6mm, 5mm, and 4mm are the different sizes available. Because the mould has a depth of 61mm, the height of the bar will be around 60mm.
One plate is affixed to the base, while the other is free to move around. Yes, you might be able to compensate.
Only one side may be used; the other must be fixed.

With the right mods, it's possible to make it work. Despite the fact that I haven't done many ingot pours, I can confidently say that this mold kit has exceeded my expectations. It's great that it can make both cylinders and flat ingots. In addition, the handle is a great feature. br>br>The fact that one half of the mold is screwed to the base is not mentioned in the description. br>br>One thing that bothered me was the poor marching on the mold's mating surfaces. In the first photo, you can see how rough they were at first. I'm not sure if it would have affected the ingot, but if it had been left that way, I was expecting a lot of flashing. After a few minutes on the belt sander, wet sanding at 120 - 150 grit is recommended. The surface shown in the second photo was achieved using 400 grit. not a reflection- By no means perfect, but I believe it is more likely to close a deal. It also left a sharp edge on the cylinders, which I hoped would reduce the chance of flashing even more. This step is probably unnecessary, but it's worth a shot if your mold is leaking a lot of metal. After smoothing, I was extremely pleased with the results. br>br>In the second smallest cylinder, a third photo shows an ingot made from approximately 13 grams of 19k yellow gold. The seams are immaculately finished. I lightly lubricated the mold with coconut oil and it did not stick. br>br>The trickled flash at the top was expected, but the smaller clump alone at the bottom caught me off guard. I believe I either paused too soon during the pour or that I needed to heat my mold more. Regardless, I believe I produced a respectable ingot in this mold on the first attempt. I like the design and the build quality (except for the rough machining, which isn't a big deal). br>br>Strongly suggested! br>br>.
I'm a complete noob, and I'm still working on getting the mold hot enough so that the metal doesn't cool as it enters, but I've managed to produce usable results. This is an excellent tool that I would purchase again. Perhaps a second screw could be added to evenly tighten the graphite.
The metal used for this appears to be a jumble of cast metal scraps that someone attempted to re-assemble. The metal is machined after it has been melted together. I wouldn't recommend this product until the machining and casting processes have been improved. Any gold or silver that you cast into it will be lumpy and uneven.
It works fine, but it's a pain to use.
It's fantastic.
It comes in a variety of sizes, including 8mm, 6mm, 5mm, and 4mm rounds. It's also capable of generating some sloppy half rounds. br>Warning: it comes with a layer of black grease on it. However, it will not rust in this manner. It's a situation where you have to make a choice between two options. off. Mine arrived so padded that I assumed it was something else and wasn't expecting a greasy object when it emerged from the bubble wrap. br>The clamp works fine and screws on, but I wouldn't want to transport anything with it for a long distance. However, you should not have to. The handle is comfortable, but the screw-on mechanism holds it together only sporadically and is difficult to work with when wearing thick gloves. br>It's exactly what I was looking for when pouring smaller quantities of metals.
When I first received the mold, I noticed that the sheet side, not the wire side, was covered in lines and bumps, which is thought to be the reason why the metal won't pour and instead sits on top. To be honest, the wire side works perfectly, and there are no issues there, so I believe this is a problem with the pouring. I won't be able to return it, so I'm out of money. The advice you should take from this is that, based on other reviews, they have terrible quality control and are sending out products with obvious flaws, but they don't seem to mind. You take the chance that you will get a good one or a bad one.
So far, I haven't melted any metals and poured them into this mold. I need to get the metal first. br>I placed this order as fears of a pandemic spread around the world, gold prices rise, and the stock market appears to be plunging on a daily basis. Precious metals are a more reliable currency in uncertain times. br>The form is quite heavy, and it should be able to withstand the heat of liquid silver and gold. The handle is made of rough wood with some divots missing. Splinters are unlikely to bother me because this job will necessitate wearing heavy gloves to protect my hands from the hot metal. It's greasy and filthy, to say the least. Until I have enough scrap to melt, I'll have to clean it or store it somewhere where it won't smudge the rest of the room.
