replacment tubes

[RogerGarrett]

Sorry for the boring title line. Replacement tubes is a bit mundane.....

It's getting close to the time I usually begin birdhouse ornaments for the fall and winter season. Can anyone tell me the best source for replacement tubes? I'm looking for the longest 7 mm tubes available........

Best,

AS has 10" tubes at ten for $9.95. I don't know if you need them longer or if you could get them cheaper at another place, but at basically a buck a piece it's pretty reasonable.

I am looking at the Penn State catolugue. They list the 7mm 10" tubes as 10 for $9.95. You may be able to get them cheaper from Woodturningz because they discount the price of PSI stuff.

Woodnwhimsie has 4 different sizes and are a buck cheaper. Good folks too.

Test the tubes before you buy a lot. NOT ALL 7mm tubes are the same ID.

Make sure your components won't stretch your tubes too much and crack your pens.

These are for ornaments, so I'm not too concerned.:biggrin:
