Good quality tool. Can be used for a number of things.
Excellent files, small enough but still effective at accurate metal removal
I always go to Aus Maker Supplies first for my knife making supplies, they have a selection of materials at very reasonable prices and the staff always go above and beyond for their customers. A wealth of information and advice. I also recommend Aus Maker Supplies to other people I’ve met who are just getting started in knife making for these reasons.
The two small wheels are am excellent and very useful addition to my 84 Engineering belt sander.
As usual great quality.
Fast shipping over Christmas. Quality products as advertised.
Great product and tim was great in helping me decide which steel would be best for my usage
Super happy with all the purchases I've made so far and the customer service is outstanding! Tim's been really quick with responding back to my enquiries and has everything I've needed. Will definitely keep buying through Ausmaker supplies
Tim never disappoints, the Kydex is great quality,value for money and is delivered in a timely manner.
It works well and cures in about 8 hours. Only thing to be careful of is to make sure the item you're trying to cast isn't an inhibitor of platinum based silicone.
I wasn't able to cast my resin 3d prints because they inhibit the curing process. Likewise I tried using bluetac to hold down some parts in the container but the bluetac inhibited the curing in those spots.
TLDR This is a good kit but do your research about what you want to cast first to make sure it will work with platinum silicone. Otherwise try using tin base silicone to make a mold first as it's less reactive.
If you still need the final mold to be food safe do:
make original mould in tin silicon -> cast an object from it using a material you know is safe with platinum silicone -> make a platinum silicone mould with this kit using the new object you cast from the tin mould.
Anyway this is a good kit.
I'd been shopping for a while between my main two suppliers, but when necessary materials were out of stock there I had to shop around. Aus Maker Supplies popped up and had just what I needed. My steel was packed well and sent quickly, exactly as described, and a great price too! I received a nice little handwritten note from Tim and a few lollies as a bonus too. One order in and he's earnt a spot in my main supplier list, I'll definitely be back for more materials soon!
Cheers
Easy to work and machine even after sending it off to Timmy for professional heat treatment.
Well packaged, arrived on time, and everything arrived in tact. Belts look great and do exactly what I want.
