??? on sketch pencil

[gokartergo]

I bought 5 kits.. In the process I damaged two of the tubes.. Actually one came to me damaged.. I can't seem to find any replacement tubes.. I now they are listed as 11 mm. But is this the 3/8 tube.. My math says that 11 mm is slightly larger then the 3/8. But I am not sure if they measure ID or OD.. Anybody now the answer to this one... Thanks Dan

It's a 15/32" hole, which is closer to 12mm. I got mine at Woodcraft, but they don't seem to be on their website.

I looked on the website as well as a few others and couldn't find a replacement tube..

I thought I might have some, but I was mistaken. WC says it's a 29/64"...CSUSA says it's 15/32". It's the difference between 11.5mm and 11.9mm, but I guess it doesn't really matter if no one carries them. I'll check at the WC store tomorrow, if you like.

Thanks for the offer.. If you are going to a wc store.. Could you get the part number if they have them.. I'll drive up thursday to our wc store if they have them.. It is 68 miles away from me.. Thanks Dan

I have it on good authority that CSU has replacements tubes if you call them and ask for them. They may even send you a free one if you tell them that one was damaged. Try giving them a call and see what they say.

Craft Supply, page 120 in their catalog, part # 050-9008 replacement tubes, 40 cents each. Do tell your supplier that parts arrived damaged. Customer response is the best way they have to learn about quality control problems. BTW, I always keep several tube sets on hand for all kit styles.

The best that Wood Craft could offer was to suggest you buy some Navigator replacement tubes. The short barrel is the same diameter as the Sketch pencil tubes. Of course you'd have to use two of them to get the necessary length. Since I see others have given better sources, I guess it's just an option if Craft Supplies can't provide them.
