Default I want to buy a solid piece of pure tungsten, 3 to 15 lbs.

The Yard Aircraft Tools, sells a tungsten bucking bar. Not cheap, but
smaller and denser than any steel bucking bar.

Dunno if the block size would work for you, but you might look there.

Tungsten Bucking Bar

* 2.87 lbs.

Try one of our "Vibration-Free" Tungsten Bucking Bars!

According to a recent University study, bucking bars made with tungsten
are
much safer for the operator by reducing vibration. The density of tungsten
is the future of bucking bars available at The Yard today!

At The Yard all of our Tungsten Bucking Bars are made from 90+% tungsten.
All edges are deburred and working surfaces are polished for trouble-free
use. Your hands will thank you.

The size and shape are good, but the price is a little high and the purity
is low (they don't really state the purity, only that it's greater than 90%
and I'm looking for 98% or better.)
Thanks, though, I'll keep this in mind for the future, in case I can't get
any scrap.


What is it's intended use?

Cheers
