    Graphite blocks

    Anyone know of a good ( cheap ) place to get graphite blocks, looking for 4" square by 1.5" thick, not for edm but for metal casting, what sort of price does graphite go for?, I know it's not an EDM question, but you edm'ers should know where to get graphite.

    If you use graphite for casting metal into

    heat it up first. I tried it, and was amazed at how fast the metal chilled going into cold graphite molds.

    It works really well as a mold for glass, though.
