Hello all,
Is there anyone out there doing their own investment casting? If so, I
need
a supplier for machinable wax. Perhaps its all machinable.

[It's not. Some waxes will gum up the cutter. Even the machinable type can,
if you get too enthusiastic.]

But I'd like to purchase what is tried and true.

TIA
Neil

[I've tried the blue stuff from Freeman Supply: www.freemansupply.com. It
can be invested, but it has some problems, notably a high melting point and
high expansion, so it's likely to crack the investment before it exits the
mold. Ferris File-a-wax (green) is considerably more expensive, but it's
somewhat harder and better-behaved in the investment.]
