Tube Sizes For Kits ???

[bruce119]

Is there a chart or something like that were I can find out what size tubes different kits use. I believe there are several kits that use the same size (diameter) but different lengths.

I am going to making blanks for various kits from mostly snake skin & my birch bark. I have not worked with a wide range of kits. So with out actually buying the kits and sizing them how can I find out the tubes sizes. I looked on some suppliers site's but only find drill sizes they don't actually tell you the tube size.

Then when I find the sizes does any one know where you can buy full length tubes to make it a little more efficient. All I have seen was 7mm, 10mm & 3/8 full length.

I am hoping some one who makes blanks will chime in and help me out.

Thanks
Bruce

For most kits you can buy the tubes alone. Most people who do castings and sell their stuff tubed, use this option.
