Method for producing a cable spool with rounded edges

A method for producing a cable spool comprising the steps of:

• providing a mold for producing a cable spool, said mold comprising at least two central mold pieces, a first flange mold piece and a second flange mold piece,
• said at least two central mold pieces being arranged to collectively define a barrel cavity for producing a barrel of said cable spool, and
• said first and second flange mold pieces being arranged to together with said at least two central mold pieces define a first annular flange cavity and a second annular flange cavity, respectively, for producing a first and a second annular flange of said cable spool, respectively, said first and second annular flange cavities being provided at either end of said barrel cavity when said mold is assembled,
• wherein at least a portion of each one of said first and second annular flange cavities is angled outwards 0.1-5° with respect to a plane that is perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of said barrel cavity,
• wherein at least one of said at least two central mold pieces comprises an inner protrusion for forming at least a portion of a start hole on one of said annular flanges, wherein said inner protrusion is arranged at least partly inside said angled portion of said annular flange cavities,
• said inner protrusion comprises a chamfered or concave edge for forming a chamfered or convex edge at said start hole, and
• said inner protrusion comprises a tapered edge, said tapered edge being substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of said barrel cavity and diametrically opposite said chamfered or concave edge;
• assembling said mold by joining said at least two central mold pieces and said first and second flange mold pieces;
• adding molten polymer material to said mold;
• removing said mold;
• cooling said cable spool.
