Sprue Gate
The Sprue gate is used when Single cavity cylindrical parts need to be balanced and
concentric. Sprue gated pars have very good weld-line strength (if
any), and typically are lower stressed, and are of high strength.

A Sprue Gate will leave a significant Scar equal to the size of
the sprue diameter at the point of contact of the part.
