If there is a problem with the plate try the other side and see if the problem is there as well. I am guessing the problem is with the blasted side if it is it may be over blasted i...

Re: Mic 6 tooling plate

That does seem a bit excessive. It may have been bent. I have heard where one side is better than the other.
