The Ferris File-A-Wax Ring Tube Style T-200 is a professional-grade carving wax tube designed for lost wax casting. Each tube measures 6" (152mm) in length, 1-5/16" (33.3mm) high, and 1-3/16" (30.2mm) wide, with a flat top profile and a 5/8" off-center hole. Preferred by master carvers for years, these wax tubes are ideal for crafting rings, cuff links, pendants, medallions, and more.
File-A-Wax can be easily sawed, carved, drilled, milled, and turned on a lathe. It burns out cleanly from investment molds, withstands rough handling, and will not soften in the hands. Available in five color-coded hardness formulas to match your carving technique and application. Must be burned out of investment molds. Not for use in steam de-waxers.
