Drag Pattern
  • The cope and drag patterns for the pintle socket were CNC machined in hardwood for strength, durability, and cost control.
  • The photos above show the patterns for the top/cope mold and the bottom/ drag mold
    • The cope pattern shows the seven of the ten risers and the four vents.
    • The drag pattern shows the core print for positioning the bowl core and the four ingates into the bowl rim.
  • The cope and drag molds are formed in the patterns with “no-bake” sand (a binder-sand mixture with superior strength to green sand)
