cast iron grid
(OP)
hi, we are a out of comfort zone. We are in the grill products business and deal primarily in stainless. Our new project is a cast iron cooking grid. We have the grid designed but are not sure what the callouts or notes on the print should be with regard to material, production, tolerances and such. Any help on who or where we can get this handled is appreciated. Also, any recommendations on US foundries that can handle small productions runs is also appreciated. thanks





RE: cast iron grid
These are very simply parts, but there are some critical details.
There are limits to how fine of details can be cast in, and I am sure that you want them very flat.
There are still a lot of small iron foundries in the US, at least there are here in the mid-west.

RE: cast iron grid
It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong, than to be always right by having no ideas at all.
RE: cast iron grid
Unfortunately, due to environmental regulations there are not many small ferrous foundries in the US.
RE: cast iron grid
They were and I hope still are great and can do small and large production runs.
I would contact them.
