You will need a sprue plate to get a level top.
Bullet casters have done it this way for zonks for the same reason.

Pewter is great stuff. I do the garage sales and buy all I can to alloy...

The sparky rocked up this morning and looked over everything. When he fitted the new 3 phase main switch, he placed 2 active wires for the shed main switch into the same active...

Ha.... The Kimber and SVI race gun more than make up for the Tupperware. :2tsup:

Mate couldn't make it.

I'll let you know the outcome.

Thanks, Ray.
A mate is coming to have a look on Friday.

The forward reverse rod and cam have 2 limit switches and they are working OK.
It seems strange that the Coolant pump isn't working either.
I might wire the power lead directly to the motor and...

There isn't a lot of Grey Box around.
Most of our stock goes to Hardwood Floors at Marrickville.
Actually Feature Grade Grey Box is fairly clean. small feature mostly backsawn hobnail.

I have a CD here somewhere called "Euclid"
It is for Eucalypts only (I think).
Will see if I can find it.

Never heard of them.
Neither has my contacts in Newcastle, Sydney or The Gong.

Grey box is harder than Blackbutt.

Grey box is also harder to get as it only grows in a small area in northern NSW.

Grey Box is a bland looking timber with little figure to the wood.

Look at the interlocked grain on the top right of the block.
red gum is similar colour, but doesn't have this feature.
