F80 inline lead mold (75–110g)
Code: YM/0080Related products
Product detailed description
Your Mold F80 aluminum lead mold produces inline leads. It has 3 cavities for nominal weights of 75 / 90 / 110 g. Fill individual cavities as needed.
Three cavities at 75, 90 and 110 g offer successive weights for the same inline setup. F80 uses a tapered 3/5 mm pin, which differs from the straight 3.2 mm pin system in F58. Compare F182 for heavier castings in the same tapered group.
F80 uses a compact inline body and a tapered passage. Its behavior differs from more heavily textured Grippa leads. Choose the profile and weight for the bottom, current and complete rig; the category name alone does not guarantee a particular holding force.
Casting uses a tapered metal pin for the 3/5 mm profile. Remove it after the metal sets and fit a matching tapered rubber insert into the cool, finished lead. The 3/5 mm specification describes a taper, not any straight tube with a 3 or 5 mm diameter. F80 is supplied with a tapered pin. Finish the cleaned casting with a rubber lead coating according to the coating manufacturer’s instructions.
Cast-in attachment parts and finishing accessories are selected separately for the specific construction.
Weight and insert overview
| Nominal weight | Cavities | Insert for casting | Finishing |
|---|---|---|---|
| 75 g | 1 | tapered 3/5 mm metal pin | Remove pin; fit liner after cooling |
| 90 g | 1 | tapered 3/5 mm metal pin | Remove pin; fit liner after cooling |
| 110 g | 1 | tapered 3/5 mm metal pin | Remove pin; fit liner after cooling |
From F80 to a finished lead
- Prepare a clean, completely dry mold, inserts and tools. Select the required cavity or variant.
- Fit the specified insert (tapered 3/5 mm metal pin) and check full closure and secure holding without force.
- Cast according to the instructions for the mold, metal and melting equipment. Keep plastic and rubber inserts out of molten metal.
- After the metal sets and handling is safe, remove the casting and pull out the pin. Let the lead cool fully before fitting the liner.
- Check the attachment or the smooth line passage, then test the complete rig.
- Weigh and inspect the first casting before continuing with a larger batch.
Nominal weight refers to one casting. The metal and finishing affect actual weight. Respect the load limits of the rod and complete rig; an inline hole alone does not guarantee free-running or safe lead-release behavior.
Casting safety
- Never pour molten metal into a damp mold. Inserts and tools must also be completely dry.
- Wear safety glasses and suitable protective gloves; work on a stable, heat-resistant surface with effective ventilation.
- Follow the mold, metal and melting-equipment instructions. A mold temperature limit is not a recommended pouring temperature.
- Do not eat, drink or smoke when working with lead. Keep casting equipment separate from kitchen utensils and wash your hands afterwards.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
How many leads does F80 cast?
Filling all cavities produces 3 leads at 75 / 90 / 110 g. You can also fill individual cavities.
Which insert should I use?
Use the specified tapered 3/5 mm metal pin. Dry-fit the part in its groove and verify complete closure before pouring.
What does this offer include?
The aluminum mold with its tapered pin. The matching rubber insert and other finishing accessories are sold separately.
Will the profile always hold in a current?
No. Holding depends on weight, bottom slope and hardness, current and line pull. Try the actual rig in the intended conditions.
Does this mold guarantee safe lead release?
No. Release after line breakage depends on the complete rig, including clips, swivels, liners and stops. Test the combination you will actually use.
