You could adapt it to fit what ever size tubes you use. I like that idea too. With more than one saw, you need more than one storage device.

Roberta Moreton Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 I tried the tubes in the holes on the side thing. I found them sloppy fit and annoying. I just stick one tube in a hole with the blade I am currently working with. Keep the rest in a clear box, with long dividers, in their package. One size per slot. I might make a tube holder. When I’m not working on something else. Maybe. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmmcrafts Posted February 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 (edited) I ended up searching eBay and found these 10 tubes for less than $5 Now just need to do some cutting on this saw to see if they are going to rattle or anything that might be annoying, lol. If all goes well I think this saw will be going camping with me this summer Edit to add a link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/10-Pack-16-x-150-mm-Clear-Plastic-Test-Tubes-with-Blue-Caps-6-Inch/381314545375?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649 Edited February 22, 2019 by kmmcrafts OCtoolguy and meflick 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 (edited) Just gotta tell this. I have those test tubes. been using them for years. Little more shopping on E-bay and you can find them for like 25 of right around $6. But for storing the tubes with the blades in them, I have tried many different way and things. I made several different things and was never really satisfied. Finally I ordered one of the test tube holder shown in the picture. It was like $4 on E-bay. Holds a total of 60 tubes but I don't use all the rows. I leave an empty row in between just because I don't have 60 different types of blades and it makes it easier this way to read the labels on the tubes and to get them in and out. This has been the absolutely best setup I have ever had in my years of scrolling. The holder is what is used in labs and hospitals.

I have a storage deal almost like this that I keep in my Hawk.. since I have the Hawks right next to each other I'm able to just grab from the holder whatever saw I'm using.. and I have like 50 tubes.. none would fit the base on the Excalibur.. so I ordered these.. I did see packs of 25, 50 etc.. cheap too.. I only really needed about 4.. for this saw.. but only seen in packs of 10.. This is a great tip for those that are looking though..

That's exactly what I bought on Amazon for about $15. 60 tubes and the rack. I think I posted the link up above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmmcrafts Posted February 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 I cut for about an hour and I didn’t have any issues with the tubes or anything. Didn’t get much cut because I was trying to practice top feeding the blade. But after several attempts near quitting time I just started bottom feeding. Lol Here is what I cut. (Picture from earlier as I got it mostly all cut now. ) OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
