How do I choose the diving depth?
Short answer
Decide it before tooling, because depth is set by the bill geometry cut into the mould. A buyer who approves a sample and then asks for a deeper version is asking for a second mould.
In detail
State the target depth and the line class used to reach it, and have the factory confirm the bill angle against that number.
