Cope and drag with cores in place on the drag Two sets of castings (bronze and aluminium) from the above sand mold. In foundry work, the terms cope and drag refer respectively to the top and bottom parts of a two-part casting flask, used in sand casting. The flask is a wood or metal frame, which contains the molding sand, providing support to ...
A similar technique called a cope and drag pattern is often used for large castings or large production runs: in this variation, the two sides of the pattern are mounted on separate pattern plates that can be hooked up to horizontal or vertical machines and moulded with the molding material.
If necessary, a temporary plug is placed in the sand and touching the pattern in order to later form a channel into which the casting fluid can be poured. Air-set molds are often formed with the help of a casting flask having a top and bottom part, termed the cope and drag. The sand mixture is tamped down as it is added around the pattern, and ...
The shape of a flask may be square, rectangular, round or any convenient shape. A flask can have any size so long as it is larger than the pattern being used to make the sand mold.

The box is split into two halves which are stacked together in use. The halves are referred to as the cope and drag flask respectively. A crucible containing bronze is poured into the Green Sand, which contains a hollow shape below, that will become the finished cast. Not all Green sand is green in color.
Most weight machines have levers or pins to customize the seat height and range of motion, so don’t hesitate to consult the machine’s diagram or ask a gym staff member for help if needed.
A split pattern has a top or upper section, called a cope, and a bottom or lower section called a drag. Both solid and split patterns can have cores inserted to complete the final part shape. Cores are used to create hollow areas in the mold that would otherwise be impossible to achieve. Where the cope and drag separates is called the parting line.
