| Source for graphite piston material |
| (1/1) |
| Chuck in E. TN:
I need a US source for 1” (finished)dia. Graphite for pistons for a couple of flame eaters I want to make. Where do you get your graphite? Will this work? http://www.graphitestore.com/itemDetails.asp?item_id=460&prd_id=25&cat_id=22&curPage=1 Chuck in E. TN |

Hi Chuck, I get my graphite of ebay. I would go slightly larger than 1" if that is the finished size you need. Eric |

If you know someone who works in a power plant, ask if they can get you a couple of carbon brushes, they will be just the job. By the way, they are solid blocks called brushes! Ian |

Die sinker EDM's use graphite as electrodes - I have a box of it for my Eurospark 425 but I'm the other side of the pond from you! Andrew |
| Chuck in E. TN:
Thanks anyway, Andrew. A mate over here came through and sent me a 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" x 3" chunk. Should do several engines. Chuck |
