Since the invention of our inserts in 1986, we are now producing 12 different sizes of styles "A" and "B" inserts.  We have sold more than 1 million inserts both in domestic and international markets.  Our style "B" inserts are specially designed for matchplates and gives the automatic molding machines the edge to produce perfect castings.

Cope & Drag Inserts create a quick, simple and accurate alignment of cope & drag mold halves. They eliminate the need for line up cores, are easily installed, and guarantee a perfect match every time. Use them on matchplates, matchboards, insert or cope & drag boards, in molding boxes for flaskless molding, on automatic molding machines for core alignment, etc.... Once you have used them, experienced the efficiency and time savings they provide, you will use them for all your mounted patterns. Two or three inserts are all it takes to correct any wear on pins or misalignment problems you may have. They work independent from alignment pins, are mounted next to patterns, and create holes and corresponding buttons in each mold halve.  They are used in greensand, airset/no bake molding, in vacuum molding for sand - castings, on automatic molding machines, and many other ways.

We have two different styles of inserts: style "A" and style "B". Both have mounting rims, which guarantee the correct depth of the cope insert. These rims and the additional height of the drag insert, leave impressions in the sand which become sand traps, necessary for flaskless molding. They also make it possible to use either insert half on the cope or drag side.

To install our inserts easily into wood we designed a cutterholder with a long 1/2" diameter pilot, and with interchangeable cutting blades for all sizes of our inserts.
