cadman Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Hey Scott, I have these in house and I measured them two ways. With digital calipers and a digital micrometer. Both readings were .0120. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdsaw Posted September 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Thanks guys! Need to modify some molds to accept this wire weedguard He wants to mold them in during the pour You can almost scratch a groove deep enough with .012 wire Might have to use a different cutter other than an end mill I have something in mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the suggestion. I believe that Cadman might be using those in a mold that I did for him, but glues them in after painting. The mold being modified to accept a wire weedguard will have to be molded in during the pour because a base hole pin won't fit in the available space (Do-it 3183 Worm-A) I'll mention it to the owner of the mold Edited September 12, 2013 by sdsaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Scott, Yes you are absolutely correct you modified a round head mold for me, in which you cut both mold halves with 5 cavities to accept the wire weedguards. I on the other hand, put (2) WWG-12 wires in the mold cavity and then pour them in place. I then paint the jigs, bake and then separate the two wire weedguards to form a "V". This mold works flawless for what I need. Job well done Scott. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good to know how the modified mold is being used and that it is working correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
