D-M-E — your mold tooling advantage for over five decades

DME standard B series mold bases
The D-M-E "B" Series Mold Base offers economy of desig without sacri?cing the high-quality steel and workmanship of the "A" Series. The two mold bases are identical excep for the "B" Series "two-plate" design. A thicker "A" acts as both Top Clamping Plate and upper Cavity Plate. Similarly, a thicker "B" plate eliminates the need for Support Plate on the "B" side of the mold. The "B" Ser is sometimes speci?ed for single-cavity plastics molds or die-cast dies where the cavity and core are machined directly into the Cavity Plates; or where overall mold height is critical. As a two-plate design, cavity inserts have to be installed into "blind" pocket
Instructions for ordering:

"B" Series Mold Bases are available in the same variet of steels, sizes and plate combinations as the "A" Serie Since the clamp slots are located in the "A" plate, th recommended minimum "A" plate thickness for a " Series Mold Base is 1.875. If an "A" plate less than 1.8 is desired, exact clamp slot and center hold speci?cations must be provided.
Unless otherwise speci?ed, the size and location of return pins and screws will be identical to those of the corresponding size "A" Series Mold Base. In addition unless otherwise speci?ed, the riser height will be suppli to conform with the standard "C" dimension listed for t corresponding size "A" Series Mold Bas
