Description
Ferris File-A-Wax Square Slabs are the preferred carving wax of master jewelers for lost wax casting models. Each assortment contains 6 slabs measuring 3-9/16" square in a range of thicknesses — one each of 7/8", 5/8", 3/8", and 1/4", plus two slabs at 3/16" — giving you a practical variety of stock from a single purchase.
These waxes are 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. Ideal for rings, cuff links, pendants, medallions, and much more. Available in five color-coded hardness formulas to match your specific carving or machining needs.
Must be burned out of investment molds. Not for use in steam de-waxers.
