Machinable wax
John Stevenson:
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 /.
AdeV:
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.
John Stevenson:
won't have that much kicking about.
What about a glued up lump of MDF then use it as a pattern :med:

I've never really liked putting wood on the mill, somehow it just doesn't seem right. Will it harm the cutters, or can I cut it with impunity?
HS93:
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.
