Does a die-casting mold base include finished die cavities?

The quotation defines the mold base plates, machining features, supplied components and assembly. Finished cavities and a complete die are not automatically included.

What should be reviewed before quoting a large die-casting mold base?

Provide the footprint, overall height, geometry, approximate weight, machining access and handling requirements. Published overall capacity is subject to the actual drawing and does not define a universal tolerance.

How are die-casting mold base guide and slide interfaces accepted?

Mark the agreed datums, interface dimensions and fits in the approved drawing. Dimensional/CMM reports can cover the features agreed for the order.

Inspection and Production Planning

Dimensional and CMM reports are available for agreed features, datums and tolerances. Overall capacity is up to 1500×1200 mm footprint and approximately 8 tonnes per set, subject to drawing review. Height, geometry, machining access and handling must be confirmed.

Typical production: 7–15 working days; large or complex projects 15–25 working days. Working days exclude weekends and statutory public holidays in China. The clock starts on the next working day after formal PO receipt, final drawing/specification approval and applicable deposit receipt are all completed. Transport time is separate.
