The mold base has special clamping slots so it can be mounted into the die casting machine.
Unit Die – Die Casting Tools –
A special die casting tool that is used to reduce the cost from a complete die casting tool and more efficient than die casting insets is the unit die tool, sometimes called a DME unit die. The unit die tool is easier and faster to change out in a die casting machine. Sometimes as little as half an hour verses sometimes four hours as a complete tool, or six hours as a die casting insert. It requires that the die casting company have a master DME unit holder mounted in a die casting machine. The unit dies are universal in the die casting industry and can be moved from one die casting company to another easier, similar to complete tooling, than die casting inserts. Unit dies are produced in three sizes, depending on the size of the part to be produced. 10×12 (pronounced ten by twelve), 12×15 (pronounced twelve by 15), and 15×18 (pronounced fifteen by eighteen)
Complete Die Casting Tooling –
The best quality tool. The most expensive tool. The tool that is the easiest to move from one die casting company to another. This tool is the complete package, cavity inserts and mold base. It mounts directly into the die casting machine. It controls the temperature and pressure much better than it’s counterparts.
Die Casting Trim Dies –

Why Concrete Roof Tiles
Why Concrete Roof Tiles. Do you know that a strong and attractive-looking concrete roof is a sign of a well-planned home? Apart from an experienced roofing contractor and good equipment used in building your home, a quality concrete roof will set your home apart from any other. This is why it is very important to consider your roof structure and the general architectural style of your home before making your choice of roofing material.
There are a wide variety of choices in concrete roofing materials. You will need to choose the kind that are both attractive and durable, as well as weather-proof, energy-efficient, and budget-friendly. You can consider composition shingles, which will fit most financial considerations, are fire resistant and need very low maintenance. However, they have a limited life span and are susceptible to very strong winds.
For a more natural look, you can take a look at wood shakes that will allow your home to take in more air. However, they are not impervious to insects, rot or mold, and they require a lot of repairs. Slate is more expensive, but is fire resistant and does not require much maintenance. But they are also brittle and can cause damage to your drains.
A lot of roofing contractors recommend concrete roofing tiles because they have a more modern look, and are fire resistant, rot repelling, as well as indestructible by insects. They are also low maintenance, durable, and longer lasting. Concrete roofing tilemolds come in a wide variety of colors and can even be made to look like slate, shake, or terra cotta tiles. Their versatility extends to their use as exterior wall decorative accents, and they are sure to make your home weather-proof, well-insulated, attractive, energy-efficient, and infinitely more comfortable.
