Still not bad prices, have you priced up the ready done wax? I bought two blocks 3" x 3" x 3" and 3" x 3" x 10" and it was £45 delivered. What size do you need because i still have some left and you still need to collect these faceplates / staedys if you are still interested /. |

Hi John, Still definitely interested in the faceplates/chucks/steady/etc., just fishing about for an excuse to head over your way on company money... I'd be wanting a lump of wax some 10"x22"x2.5" in size - that will match the outline size of the sump. In fact, there's a couple of tabs stuck out the side too which will make it about 13-14" at one point; so it's not only not quite rectangular, but it's also huge... The required weight of wax, if my calculations are correct, will be a bit over 8.1kg. |

won't have that much kicking about. What about a glued up lump of MDF then use it as a pattern :med: John S |

Will it harm the cutters, or can I cut it with impunity? |

Just use wood router cutters, Aldi is a good source for them they do sets of about 12 cutters for under a £10 from time to time all shapes and sizes, use them on ally as well. peter |
