Introduction
We not only polish to prepare for texture but are capable of providing polish as the final finish.Our polishing department specializes in lens/mirror finishes (SPI A1 to A2). We can take a surface at its roughest starting point and bring to an A1-A2 finish.
We understand the importance and know how to maintain sharp edges. A rolled edge can compromise the integrity of the seal when the cores and cavities come together. This will lead to part flash depending on the material and other factors.
We provide polishing services to remove EDM, Cutter Marks, and re-fitting of tools.
Our craftsman polishers follow SPI standards. The SPI chart on the left defines the SPI standards
