[Jewelry making - Article 00790] - [Orchid] Purchasing vacuum wax injector

Hi

    I am thinking about purchasing a vacuum wax injector for production
    casting in the very near future. The main reason I am considering
    this is because some of the designs that I plan to put into
    production are similar in dimension to dog tags i.e. (wide and flat
    approx. 40 mm by 20 mm by 1.5 mm with a raised border and lettering). 

    I am currently using a small wax injector and I am having problems
    with incomplete fills on the lettering. 

    I was wondering if anyone on the forum is familiar with vacuum wax
    injectors like the one that Rio Grande sells. 

    I would also appreciate some advice on injecting wide flat pieces.
    Generally I cut vents into my molds and use westcast aqua injection
    wax. I am pretty happy with the results I get on most of the pieces
    I'm working with, it is just the flat waxes that seem to be a
    problem. Thanks in advance.
