is that stuff ash free? and just doing the math makes most of those pucks $15-$17 each. sadly not pennies
Obviously, you flunked Mathmatics as a kid, because you can get a 14" long tube for $42... Yeah, it is sad.
So, let's do some math, OK?
14 inches is going to be 35 and 1/2 CM....or about 355mm
Now, we are going to divide 355mm by 12mm (My guess as to your avg. thickness of disk...)
355/12= That is almost 30 disks for only $44. Then, you can remelt the leftovers and do it again, right?
This will come out to just penys per disk! Just like I said.
Use a 4" steel pipe...
Your welcome!
Machinable Wax - Cylinder Shaped Stock Also, this is specifically designed for lost-wax burnout, so your second question could have been answered by yourself if you bothered to read my link. (maybe? Maybe not?)
So, I will do your work for you and tell you!
Specifications for our
BLUE Machinable Wax:
Extremely hard, hybrid plasticized wax blend. Recommended for high resolution CNC milling and turning. This wax is somewhat more flexible than our green or silver blend. Available in small, medium and large pieces. Excellent choice for parts with high but delicate components such as turbine blades. This wax is too tough to be considered carveable.
