Help with accurate mold problem

[Shooter6br]

Received 31-201L (today) I noticed this (see pic) What is up with that? I bought this mold due to quality control. The mold re-sell value is at least 50% decreased. I e-mailed Tom soon as i noticed it today ( just got it) I am sure Tom will do me right. I am a bit upset after spending $120 for the mold. NOTICE EXTRA HOLE !!!!!!

What is up with what? Be descriptive.

You just answered your own question.That's probably why it went to the 50% bin

[Shooter6br]

It has an extra hole drilled into it I payed $120 total for this? Not 50% off!!!!

If you look closely you will see a hex-head jamb screw at the bottom of that "hole" ! It is there to provide a stop for the spru plate stud screw ! Some makers use a set screw on the side of the mold or provide none at all . Tom's system is infinitely better, does not damage the threads of the hold down screw, and is a GREAT design improvement !

Stick a hex key down the hole and turn !

thay may a set screw in that hole

Others beat me to it- the one I received Tuesday had the same hole. It would make life tough if you ever had to access/install that hex screw without it... Looks like yours is as pretty as mine- the man does good work.

I stand corrected Tom e-mailed me. i never had this system in a mold TOM IS A GREAT MOLD MAKER

USPS for mine. Arrived with blocks wrapped seperately and nicely packed in an appropriate sized cardboard box.

Calm down, Shooter6, that hole you see is the result of one of the best designs ever done to a mould sprue plate screw! It has thrown people before, don't feel like the Lone Ranger, but you did kinda go off half-cocked, you gotta study it first!

I can't believe that the OP didn't check into that hole/setscrew.....Tom is a craftsman of the best kind, and a good guy, he wouldn't mess you around.

[MBTcustom]

Yeah, that threw me for a second too. I knew that it had to be there for a reason though. I looked in the hole and realized instantly what I was looking at. I just wonder why nobody ever thought of this before! Tom is a pretty smart feller!

Just got my mold today, and saw that too; I have to agree that is one of the nicest design improvements I've seen in a while. Oh, and really beautiful molds, too.
