    Most Ingot molds are 5mm thick a standard set by Italy. Some small
    rolling mills have a maximum capacity of 4mm opening. The best thing
    to do is get the adjustable Ingot mold and you can grind the sides on
    the plates. 

    The base on the fixed side can be removed by unscrewing from under
    (back). 

    Place the two plates on a flat surface with both sides facing up.
    You can now use a belt sander or get it done on a surface grinder. By
    doing both together you eliminate the problem of having to square
    this. 

    For smaller jobs you can get a mini adjustable ingot mold that is
    basically two plates with three sized inserts.
