there is about 1/4" between the pouring spout of the furnace and the top of the mould block. Tighten the
elevation adjustment screws against the support posts so the mould guide will remain in this position.
To align the sprue hole in the mould with the pouring spout on the furnace, you must
loosen the carriage bolt in the adjustable mould guide slide. Loosening this bolt will allow the
adjustable slide to be moved backward and forward. This also allows the horizontal alignment
of the track. On multiple cavity moulds, align the sprue hole closest to the operator. When the
sprue hole is aligned, slide the adjustable slide tight against the front of the mould block and
tighten the carriage bolt.
When using the mould guide with a multiple cavity mould, the mould is set into the track
and slid forward until it touches the adjustable slide.
Then, the cavity closest to the operator is filled with molten bullet metal first. Remaining
cavities require visual alignment and are filled (each in order) as the mould is slowly drawn
toward the operator. When all cavities are full, allow the mould to rest on the track for sever-
al, seconds until the sprue solidifies.
If an ingot mould is to be used with the furnace while the mould guide is in place, set the
ingot mould (length-wise) either on top of (it may be necessary to remove the mould stop), or
beneath the track and fill the cavity closest to the operator first. Remaining cavities are filled
by slowly drawing the ingot mould toward the operator. Pliers should be used to handle the
ingot mould and care taken to avoid accidental spilling of hot bullet metal.
Note: Be a safe bullet caster. Wear protective glasses, gloves, long-sleeve shirt, long pants
and closed top shoes when casting. Do not allow moisture, in any form whatever above or
near your furnace filled with molten lead. When moisture is introduced to molten bullet
metal, a terrific steam explosion occurs and molten metal is sprayed not only over the imme-
diate area but also over the bullet caster.
