Item Name:
Fused Quartz Rod - 6.0mm
SKU:
ABRQR6
Description:
This is a solid fused quartz rod supplied in standard 4 foot lengths with a 6.0 mm outside diameter. Fused quartz rod is used in scientific lampworking when you need a clean, consistent solid stock that holds up under very high heat and thermal cycling. It is commonly chosen for building and reinforcing quartz components, creating handles and punty style supports during fabrication, and forming solid features where tubing is not appropriate. This rod is produced to defined straightness and size tolerances, which helps when you are aligning parts, making repeatable builds, or fitting into jigs and fixtures.
How it is used:
- Used as solid stock for forming and shaping quartz components in the torch.
- Pulled down into points or tapers for starting seals, making small tools, or creating alignment features.
- Used as a handle or temporary support during fabrication when you need a rigid heat tolerant grip point.
- Cut to length and fire polished to remove sharp edges before use in assemblies.
- Used where a solid member is needed for strength, spacing, or precise positioning in a quartz build.
Dimensions:
- Size 6.0mm
- Length 4'
