For now too much time involved making inserts from hydex, i have brass inserts, brass blanks, and phenolic inserts. Hydex works great for ferrules for now
my question has still gone unanswered with hydex i i have made them from tomahawk, maple, etc. Hydex too, however my question is only with hydex. Time to move on from this thread
So Mr Webb how well does juma hold up as an insert, does it last
i can make the inserts and i do have the die holder on my lathee. I was just asking if there was a faster way to cut a longer length of rod to a smaller size, since this material is flexing when i try to do any length longer than 2.5 inches at a time
Your picture says Juma on the bottom, is...
Yes, but it was known for it's functional ability in the ferrule. If we are talking about the Westinghouse material that contained a hazardous material, yet it had characteristics like no other, We still have some ivorine 3, 4 and the next secret material PlayThru !
SOLD
