IMHO, adjustments WERE made but.......
For the record, the sample mold I received for this run of the Thor mold had a nose diameter of .286", a band diameter of .288". and a gas check shank diameter of .252". I told them that the cavities were perfect except the gas check shank which needed to be reduced to .249-.250" (a little loose is better than too tight,IMHO). I repeatedly stressed the nose diameter must be .286" -.0010/+.0000. I can't for the life of me understand getting the majority of the molds oversize! As a plastic injection mold maker (retired) of 33 years, I know what it takes to get a cavity cut to the RIGHT size, and it is NOT that difficult. There is no excuse in my mind for getting the majority of the molds oversize IF the QC practices were correct. Since we had a mold that was to be cut smaller, Logic says one would attempt cutting it first, and checking it for size, and then adjust the cutter path as needed. APPARENTLY this was not the case.
I could understand more easily a mold being undersize due to cutter flex and cutter dulling as the manufacturing process proceeded than having the majority oversize. Bill did step up and attempted to corrected the previous problems, but the QC is lacking. Because of the previous debacle and lack of funds, I had the molds sent directly to the buyers, so I would assume more care would be taken to ensure correct dimensions. It is a shame that Bill spent so much to try and make this right and it has turned out this badly.
I feel badly for Bill as he attempted to correct the previous fiasco, but I also think you guys should have all of the information as it affects your molds.
