These alignment cores are used in green-sand and air set molding. They are reversible and fit perfectly into each print on both the cope and drag sides. On our alignment prints we have included an extra 1/8" height to serve as a sand trap. Additionally, we have designed an extra sand trap ring on the outside wall at the parting. This creates a space to collect the sand that rubs off during the mold closing. Similar to our Cope & Drag Inserts, these sand trap rings at the parting are absolutely necessary for No-Bake and Airset molding.

B&W Diagram of Alignment Cores
Our alignment coreprints are made out of A.B.S. plastic. They match on a 1/2" dia. center pin with a screw hole going through the center for mounting. The 3.5" dia. prints are designed for mounting two ways. The first option is to use the 1/2" dia. center pin. The second option is to use the two screw holes adjacent to the center pin. If it is necessary to mount the 2.5" print off the center pin, we recommend drilling two holes in the top of print from the backside.

For each size of our alignment coreprints, we have a specially designed two-cavity corebox. Also now available are Gang Coreboxes, which are a set of indentical corebox haves that are split horizontally creating extra space for cores. This improved design provides either thirteen 2.5" dia. or seven 3.5" dia. seamless cores. We also have a thirteen cavity corebox for our 2.5A Cope & Drag Insert Prints.
Each side of the Corebox matches perfectly and are held together by four "C" clamps. The wedging mechanism for the "C" clamps are conveniently molded on the corebox. Using a silicon spray release daily, on all DuraTech products, will guarantee years of trouble free service and protect your investment


Using our alignment cores will eliminate any shift in all molding systems, and our alignment cores are designed for an easy close over and a perfect match.
