Members Brianm77 Posted March 16, 2018 Members Report Posted March 16, 2018 (edited) Cast or machined should both do the job reliablely for many years. If you had them machined your local machine shop or even a local fabricator should be able to make them from a drawing on a sheet of paper with dimensions. If you can’t seem to find one, I can put you in touch with one in central Texas that would be glad to help. He makes machine parts for me all the time and starts with nothing more than a sketch with dimensions. If if you want to have it cast, you could try some of the forums on the interwebs. The are several deticated to foundry work. There are a lot of guys out there with foundries in their back yard that do it for the fun of it more than anything else (and beer money). I have also seen a lot of knife makers on knife forums with foundries also. Something else that may help in your search, you could beef up your mold a little and have it made out of aluminum. Aluminum has a lot lower melting point and is easier to machine if you need to sand down to get the pits out or round over corners etc. hope that helps, Brian Edited March 16, 2018 by Brianm77 Quote
