Description
Ferris File-A-Wax Style T-150 ring tubes are a trusted choice among master wax carvers for lost wax casting. Each tube measures 6" (152mm) in length, 1" (25.4mm) high, and 1" (25.4mm) wide with a flat top profile and a 5/8" (15.9mm) off-center hole. Ideal for carving rings, cuff links, pendants, medallions, and more, these wax tubes can be easily sawed, carved, drilled, milled, and turned on a lathe. They burn out cleanly from investment molds, withstand rough handling, and will not soften in the hands.
Must be burned out of investment molds. Not for use in steam de-waxers.
