Pocket S.P.I.® Mold Finish Guide

 

Press Release July 2000

Bales Mold Service, Inc. of Downers Grove, Illinois, recently developed a new, exclusive tool for measuring and comparing mold finishes: the Pocket S.P.I. Mold Finishing Guide.

"In the more than 22 years that I've worked in the mold polishing and plating business I've seen numerous instances when a customer needed an S.P.I. gauge to check a finish and either didn't have a gauge handy or the gauge was battered from constant use to the point of being almost useless," says Steve Bales, president of Bales Mold Service. "So we developed a pocket-sized gauge that you can carry along with you in your pocket."

The Pocket S.P.I. Mold Finishing Gauge is easy to read, with a cross-reference between the Roughness Average (RA) and S.P.I. scales for ease in comparisons and conversions on the back. In addition, the gauge has a 72 RC hard-finished surface that will retain the exact finishes for many years.

The price for this unique, convenient product is $189.95 plus shipping and handling. To order, call Bales Mold Service, Inc., toll free at 1-800-215-Mold. Or, please print out the order form below and fax to (630) 852-4687.

  • Goes with you anywhere – 3 1/4” x 5 1/2”.
  • Comes with protective case.
  • Has a 72 RC hard-finished surface that will retain exact finishes for years to come.
  • Quick and easy to read.
