I'm an Quality Control Inspector and do see a lot of castings. Sound Cast, Lodi Casting, Globe, Consolidated Casting these are some of the ones that can be rough in holding dimensions. Signicast does very nice work. I hate to say it but there are Foundry's in China that are very advanced compared to the previous Foundry's I listed.
The EPA has really put restrictions on Foundry's here. Our Model A Ford Foundry Castings look much better than what I see from Foundry's here is the US, Sand Castings that is.

This is true. Manufacturing in this country is all but finished.
