Source for low cost wooden handles
We make and sell brazing pokey sticks. Basically they are a 7” or so of a material withlow thermal conductivity and high heat resistance such as Normally, fused quartz,graphite and similar.
They are used to move parts during brazing at approximately1500 F in an induction coil, oxy-acetylene torch and similar.
We have a heck of a time finding simple wooden handles (seeattached, please.) that we can buy by dozens, 50’s or something similar.
I can find a couple here and there. I can find a manufacturer. Grainger is very expensive.
Wondered if anyone a source. The holes in file handles are toobig. We need something with a chuck ora hole suitable for a 3/16” or ¼” rod.
Thanks,
Tom
