1" x 6" test tubes
Anyone know a good source for 1"x6" test tubes. Craft Supplies has some but
they are flared at the top, I prefer the standard rolled top. I only need to purchase about 10 of them so I can't go to a wholesaler as they sell in bulk. Thanks in advance.......Ralph http://www.elegance-in-wood.com/ |

Ralph, try this: http://www.sciencestuff.com/prod/L-testTubeX/1016-16
I'm not sure if the tops are flared or not. As I recall, the suppliers are rapid shippers. Jack |

If you find a good deal on unflared tubes, it's easy to flare them
yourself with a propane torch on the lathe. Drill a hole for a slightly loose fit for the tubes in a scrap piece of wood held in a chuck on the lathe. The fit should hold the tube without wobbling, but to be able to remove and insert a tube while the lathe is running. Insert the tube in the spinning hole, play the torch on the end for the desired flare, then with a gloved hand remove it and put in another one. I did a box of 100 in about 40 minutes.
