Sprue plate opening jig for lee 2 cavity mold initial prototype.
I figured tapping on the sprue plate to cut the sprues did the aluminum 2 cavity molds no favors so came up with this prototype “jig”
You set the mold on the mold rest, and slide the mold in to the mold body stop making sure the sprue plate is under the Mold lever stop (I know the name doesn’t make good sense I will change the name later)
Press down on the mold handles cutting the sprues into the basket
Tap on hinge lightly if needed to release boolits.
I’m planning on putting metal sleeves over the bolt threads and making a longer mold body stop.
So far it works.
