Sprue Bushings & Locating Rings
Classic 2.0 Mold Bases are machined for and include a Sprue Bushing and Locating Ring. You may choose to omit either or both parts. Omitting the Machining for either makes this a non-standard mold base. See DME Mold Component catalog for Sprue Bushing and Locating Ring options
