Handle For Casting - Match Plates by NCHippy

Last crawled date: 4 years, 5 months ago
This handle is the result of a TinkerCAD tutorial I made which describes how to create match plates for easy metal casting.
My handles were cast in aluminum using expendable molds. This can also be done with normal sand casting. I felt a mold was the easiest way for a person new to casting to realize reliable results their very first try.
I've posted a video of the tutorial and you can watch that at https://youtu.be/VVYMFk1R-7w
In part two I show how a mold is made and the part is cast in your choice of metal. You can watch that at https://youtu.be/EnFVBwVY8Xk
You can tinker with the original model on TinkerCAD at https://www.tinkercad.com/things/18TRGHtHvlD-handle-match-plate-casting-mold
