I remember buying a bag of these only a few months ago. Unfortunately, I don't remember where I stored them or where I bought them from. I couldn't find then from some of our popular suppliers.

If any one knows, please inform me. They are the size used for the professor/exemplar and Aero twist.

Thank you.

I can usually find who I bought stuff from by looking in my emails, or my Paypal history, or my credit card statements. (It's nearly always further back in time than I first thought :))
 
I have 27/64 tubes, could that be the size your looking for or are you sure they are 23/64.
I bought these from Woodnwhimsies.
 
Are you sure you bought 10" lengths and not a bag of precut tubes??? Ask ED he sells the kit he should know if that exists.
 
Tony I'm not understanding something. I measured the tubes from the kits I have on hand and some replacement tubes, the od measures .3495-.350 not 23/64.The pen components od measures .331-.332. As the instructions show using the 23/64 drill would give .005 on a side clearance for gluing the tube.
 
Thank you all. Yes, I am sure. I will write to Roger - they weren't list on the website, but they may have them. Thank you.

Thank you, no worries. They may be labeled 23/64 on the packaging - who knows what they really are? They work well the pens they are prescribed for. Thank you again.
 
kit instructions will never tell you tube size. They give you drill size but that is not the size of the tube.
 
I know. But the packaging stated 23/64 tubes, just as it states 3/8, 25/64, 27/64, 10.5, and 12.5. Thank you JT!

Understand. I was looking at online metal suppliers like K&S to see if anything similar. I had tried to source some 10" tubes awhile back but never came up with anything.
 
No worries. I will just buy the Professors in bulk from CSUSA. I just wonder where I bought them the first time. I have to call PSI, maybe that is where. Their catalogue doesn't show them. I am good. Thank you for all of your suggestions and help!

If you have the package maybe post a photo and someone will recognize. Or is there a name on the package. Hey you started this and now we need to follow this mystery for others to note. We need answers. The public wants to know.:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin: In fact the world wants to know and even the people on Mars wants to know. Yea that's right Mars they do pen turning up there too.:biggrin::biggrin:
