Importing 10 X 60 mm tubes.
As Oliver brown sold a large amount of the 10mm rocket/insert tool I am considering,( if the demand was big enough) to import more tubes in to the UK.
You could of course roll your own! But getting the right tube is important.

Re: Importing 10 X 60 mm tubes.
I would definitely be in! I haven't got a bit of 10mm tube/dowel lying around and for rockets I still prefer to buy tubes rather than roll my own. I still don't trust my own tubes 100% for high pressure requirements (although I haven't ever had one explode on me when I have used it for a rocket).
Re: Importing 10 X 60 mm tubes.
Good stuff that’s one in anymore? The more I get the cheaper it will be for everyone, plus I am working on a new tool for the 10mm but running whistle mix.

You may find you will need them
Re: Importing 10 X 60 mm tubes.
I would like some please so count me in.
Re: Importing 10 X 60 mm tubes.
Ok so I am looking so far to import 1000, tubes costs per 100 to any individual will be £13 shipped that’s after paying shipping costs from outside of the UK plus shipping from my end to you.
Does that sound OK?

Re: Importing 10 X 60 mm tubes.
Sounds good to me look like il be stocking up
Re: Importing 10 X 60 mm tubes.
It’s not a bad price plus I have finished the 10mm whistle set, I have tested it and it will treble the lift weight of the BP variant in fact more! This set will be a limited addition and you won’t need a press or support tube more to follow.
Re: Importing 10 X 60 mm tubes.
Definitely interested in this Ken
One day, you may wake up and not have the ability to do the things you want too. Why wait, do them today.
Re: Importing 10 X 60 mm tubes.
Whistle mix without a press? Curiouser and curiouser!
"If you don't learn anything, what's the point?"
Re: Importing 10 X 60 mm tubes.
Yep it is a good little tool I developed the BP version for OB, but this tool is hand made no CNC on this one, so a lot of time on the lathe hence the limited addition.

Oh yes it can be done, I demonstrated this at an event a couple of years ago shock horror was the general opinion.
Re: Importing 10 X 60 mm tubes.
Put me down for 100 tubes please Ken. Very interested in the tool!!!!!!
Re: Importing 10 X 60 mm tubes.
Your sorted Dave, hope to put a pic up of the tool this week so you can see what you get, I will put up a tutorial at some point on how to blend the fuel.
Re: Importing 10 X 60 mm tubes.
Great, thanks Ken.
I'll take 200 tubes and I'm dead keen on the tooling when it's ready.
Thanks again,
Sam.

Re: Importing 10 X 60 mm tubes.
That’s fine I think I am at a point to order them in now, the tooling I will like said post up some pictures at some point, but so far it’s a cheap and effective way to get a 1-2 inch shell up and not that noisy.
Re: Importing 10 X 60 mm tubes.
Well the lathe is working hard as we speak, did another test with very hot BP worked fine looks like this will be a good all round tool.
Re: Importing 10 X 60 mm tubes.
I'll be up for 100 tubes and I'm also interested in the whistle tool!
Re: Importing 10 X 60 mm tubes.
Not the best picture but here it is

Re: Importing 10 X 60 mm tubes.
Please count me in too, 100 tubes and a tool if the edition isn't too limited ,thanks Biffo
Re: Importing 10 X 60 mm tubes.
How much will this limited edition run and where can I put my name down?Pyro-Gear wrote:Not the best picture but here it is

Re: Importing 10 X 60 mm tubes.
The tooling will be £30 shipped.
I can’t figure why your PM’s are not working I will have to get my IT guy to take a look Danny.

Re: Importing 10 X 60 mm tubes.
Just to let you know the tubes have left Germany and should be at the international hub today with luck!
Re: Importing 10 X 60 mm tubes.
Looks like I will have to order more aluminium a not so limited addition!Pyro-Gear wrote:Not the best picture but here it is
Re: Importing 10 X 60 mm tubes.
Apologies Ken. I've been moving house and now back online. If I think on I'll sort this ASAP.

Re: Importing 10 X 60 mm tubes.
No problems I ordered more than enough tubes to cover everybody.
Re: Importing 10 X 60 mm tubes.
Tooling update:
All made now so I will be boxing up and shipping ASAP, because of the demand I have had to order more bar stock but so as to not waste what’s left I have developed a new 10mm core burner for BP, this is a 3 rammer system and very user friendly, it runs the same tube as the whistle set.
Improvements over the old set are:
Increased lift capability.
More tolerant to fuel compositions.
Longer duration.
Increased altitude.
Very quiet in operation so should not upset the neighbours

Re: Importing 10 X 60 mm tubes.
Apart from all that hand-ramming and the headers going off, that is!Pyro-Gear wrote:Very quiet in operation so should not upset the neighbours
Sorry Ken, I couldn't resist...
"If you don't learn anything, what's the point?"
Re: Importing 10 X 60 mm tubes.
Ah yes the reference was to testing the motor only. I tend to restrict headers to a more reserved location, but I see you’re your point.
Re: Importing 10 X 60 mm tubes.
Just sent one of these up! fantastic. Fast and VERY loud. Now...... I just have 199 tubes left to set off
Re: Importing 10 X 60 mm tubes.

Re: Importing 10 X 60 mm tubes.
I take it you two have the tooling now?
Re: Importing 10 X 60 mm tubes.
yep cant wait to try it out!
Re: Importing 10 X 60 mm tubes.
PM sent
Re: Importing 10 X 60 mm tubes.
I would be grateful for instructions too, my guess is vice ,body weight upside down ,or a carver clamp .but I'll wait and see .thanks biffo
Re: Importing 10 X 60 mm tubes.
Well we have ran some tests on the tooling using the fastest BP we have to hand and the tooling works remarkably well on BP, but awesome on whistle next test is a strobe mix
Re: Importing 10 X 60 mm tubes.
Was the bp test nozzleless .?
Re: Importing 10 X 60 mm tubes.
No we used a 10mm clay nozzle but I see no reason why nozzle less would not work fine you just need a very fast powder, but boy do they go well!

Re: Importing 10 X 60 mm tubes.
Both Ken and I have now tried using fast BP meal, with and without a clay nozzle. In either case they seem to work well and, speaking personally, I can't see any significant difference in performance between the two.
I really love this tooling!

Even when I'm wrong, I'm convincing.
Re: Importing 10 X 60 mm tubes.
I have to admit this is the best set of tooling to date for the fun factor, zero CATO’s quick to make and low on composition I love it as well.
