I get the same thing on my phone and now I cannot get into this forum on my phone. I used to be able to see this forum on my phone but not now.

Best bet is to contact Ade using the 'contact' button on the home page, he ought to be able to fix the connection issue to the forum.

Kim:
I fixed it for you, doing exactly what Chris suggested.  I removed the [ youtube] [ /youtube] tags.  And now it works.  There was actually TWO versioins of the link embedded in a row, and that migth have been causing issues too.

I think it's working now, though!

I click "share" just under the Youtube screen and then copy the link that comes up. Then just paste the link here, no need to click any forum icons. That way you can also select a start position if you want.

Jasonb:
I suppose once the cross section of the gates equals the cross section of the runner the flow will be restricted by what can flow along the runner so you can't get out more than you are putting into the runner.

Your runner is probably 450mm2, the knife gate almost double that at around 900mm2. What size were the 4 individual gates you cut?

Edit, thinking some more the knife gate was actually filling the cavity with two areas 3 x 20 so only about 120mm2

In production they no doubt have the time to optimise the gate sizes to get the flow that they want but for our sort of one off or small batches it is down the the experience of the caster as to what will likely work.
