They use a dross hoe, metal rake, or carbon stick for this purpose. They stamp identifying stencils on the cooled metal. Next, casters remove the cooled metal from the mold and use a forklift to move it to a storage area. Bushers create bushings by pouring molten lead onto grinding wheels and forming it into the proper shape. They use mallets, chisels, and power reamers to remove extra lead.
Some foundries create more than bars of metal.
They may pour metal for car engines or other objects that are manufactured in large numbers. Other foundries create specialty items, often items created by artists. These foundries generally are small and often are run by artists. One example of a product created at these foundries are bronze statues. While the product may be different, workers at these foundries do many of the same tasks as workers at larger foundries.
