| Plugs |
|
To make a mould, for the castning of a lead,- or cast iron keel, the fondry needs a plug, same size as keel to be made. Plug must have the addition in measuremente to align shrinckage. Ask your fondry if plug shuld be solid, or in halves, divided in centreline. Boadbuilders normally themselves build and supply plug for their keel. However ØRKILD has own workshop to make plugs after designers drawings. |
