I have 4, 60 count boxes, of 1.5x2x3 inch blocks of machinable wax. Guess I could use it to play with the milling portion of my metal lathe but don't know what to make. This stuff is too expensive to toss. The don't float.

Looking for ideas. (insert evil scientist laugh here)

Sell it on Ebay and use the money for other things. Is it the blue Machinable wax or ?
 
Turn a pen body/cap shape to use to make a mold for PR or Urethane resin casting.


(or a gear, artwork, knife scale, tool handle, pistol grips, etc. for anything you want to make a mold for to cast multiple exact pieces when you don't want to go to the effort of making one with a more difficult to machine material)
 
use it to enhance your machining ability, you crash with wax it doesn't hurt the machine. Find something that your not sure how to machine it and give it a shot.

Wish we had wax when I first started out, would have been a lot easier.
