A core used in a caliper casting device for casting a caliper for a disc brake including a cylinder into which a piston is fitted, and a rotor housing surface that defines a space for housing a disc rotor, wherein the core is positioned and held, during casting, in a rotor housing surface forming portion of a mold in the caliper casting device, which rotor housing surface forming portion is configured to form a part of an inner wall surface of the rotor housing surface after casting, and wherein the core forms a part of the inner wall surface of the rotor housing together with the rotor housing surface forming portion after casting, and wherein:
- a positioning groove that positions and holds the core is formed in the rotor housing surface forming portion,
- the core includes a cylinder forming portion that forms the cylinder after casting, and a core print portion coupled to the cylinder forming portion, and
- the core print portion has a fitted portion that can be fitted in the positioning groove and forms the rotor housing surface together with the rotor housing surface forming portion after casting.
