Hole is where?

[Chris C]

Question for those of you who have NOE molds with installed thermometers. Where is the hole drilled for the thermometer probe?

Handle end bottom left. Useful until you get the hang of a particular mold

Oh heck, I forgot............this is an Accurate mold and the pins are reversed from NOE. So I've got a guide pin located there. Would it be a hassle to have the probe cable sticking out the front side?

Possibly, especially if you use a bottom pour. Why not have it above the handles on the right side to avoid the sprueplate bolt and allignment pin?

I knew someone would ask that question. These are my handles: http://www.buffaloarms.com/Detail.aspx?PROD=159278&TERM=saeco%20handles I hold the wooden handle in my left hand and operate the opening jaw with my right. The right side, in my case, is the moving side.......and it moves quite a bit.........and I was afraid all that flexing of the cable might break it. I ended up drilling the left side, but on the end away from the handles. I ran the cable back to the handle and tied it with a zip tie so it wouldn't be flexing. I'm relatively satisfied with it. But I'll be drilling my NOE pistol bullet mold from the handle side as previously recommended.
