This is a package of ten ceramic heat treatment blocks,
with a shipping weight of 60 lbs. It can be sent by UPS but
is a bit heavy for the mail.
Corbin's special ceramic foam blocks can withstand up to
2,600 degrees (F) and protect the work surface. Only
about 800 to 1000 degrees is required for rapid melting
of the lead core while the bonding flux is still present
as a hot vapor, to effect perfect bonded cores and to
heat treat drawn copper or gilding metal jackets for
better expansion without cracking.
The ceramic blocks are not "hard" in the usual sense, but
can be drilled easily with an ordinary wood drill
(spade bit) or cut with a coarse-tooth hacksaw.
This makes it simple to drill a pattern of 32 half inch
(or smaller) holes partly through the 4-1/2 inch by 9
inch side of the block, to create a high temperature
"holding tray" for bullet jackets.
The blocks are 4.5 by 9 by 2.5 inches high. Drilling
holes one inch deep into them makes an effective, easy
to use holder for nearly any size or length of bullet
jacket. At least 3/8 inch should be left between adjacent
drill holes for strength. The block should be held
firmly but not clamped directly with a c-clamp, for
drilling (it may crack if compressed too firmly without
a wood, rubber, or leather pad under the clamp).
