This blank is 3/4 inch square and 5 inches long. Price is per blank. Multiple blanks shown to illustrate the variety that is possible.
This extruded polyester blank is a combination of black swirling stripes in a blue and pink dyed translucent background. A new and unique look.
This blank is extremely translucent in spots so you will need to paint the interior of the blank after drilling and care should be taken while drilling to get a clean cut.
Because these are polyester blanks, they turn quite a bit differently from our other blanks. They are more brittle and more likely to chip and chatter. We've found that keeping your tool under the blank's centerline while using a gouge style approach (especially with carbide insert cutters) will help keep the chipping and chattering down. You may find a better technique that works with your style of turning and tooling though.
