Investment formers

[rgkbmk]

I typically use the emax formers to pour up press cases. Are there others out there less expensive?

You can't really be that cheap?

If you use it in combination with e.max ingots, I wouldn't use anything else. If treated with care, they last a long time...

for the silicone formers, we have a handful of the ivoclar ones but also use the super ring formers. they are just as good if not better since some cases can now be invested in a 100g ring instead of 200g ring. saves investment, burnout time, and pressing time.

Anybody remember the "paper" rings that Jeneric Pentron used to sell? Peal an edge and stick it to the 100 or 200 gram mark.

ivoclar had those for Empress and Emp II as well.

Finesse press had laminated paper so you could reuse it.

They should do that for TP, we'd all save a fortune.

I just flip it over.

That's good money saving advice right there.

I forgot they had those, too.

I have always used these former's. They seem to last much longer then Ivoclars....

They still include a 50Pack in the box of PCI investment. But I toss them aside. I use the Super Ring!
I do use it to gauge my cut line when it's time to divest though. Just cut to length of
the plunger and slide it over to mark where to cut.

Hello, is this Zubler silicone investment system compatible with FinessePress oven? If ring too high it could damage the oven i guess? Does anybody know the exact investment cylinder hight for the Finesse Pres oven?Thx
