Parishomme Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 Hello and good morning I would like to know if anyone has some ideas or suggestions on how to make an injector out of Aluminum or other type of tube material to use for injecting hot plastic into aluminum molds? Would it be cheaper just to buy one online than to make one from scratch List of Parts and assembly That would be great Thank you for your help and ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryanmc Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 Not only is it likely cheaper to buy one, it's most definitely safer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 Not that hard or complicated to be honest. Cheaper to buy one but then again for many it would be cheaper to just buy lures than make them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Young Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 There's several different options. for injectors. I really like both my single 6 ounce & my twin 6 ounce dual injector. I also had a basstackle 10 ouncer & it was a good one too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apdriver Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 Yeah, you could make one if you have a decent lathe. Maybe a CNC with some training. Otherwise, I would buy one. It’s not worth putting together a turkey baster injector at the risk of what 350 degree heated plastic can do to your body. We are talking 3rd degree burns. The few pics I’ve seen aren’t real pretty.

Jig Man Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 I have made several. They don’t last very long and are dangerous as a cocked pistol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are places you can cut corners to save money but injectors aren't one of them... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parishomme Posted June 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2020 It would probably cost more to get all the tools and items needed to make one. It would be better if I just went and purchased one and alot safer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shepherd Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 I started with a aluminum cylinder turkey baster. I just cut the probe off and smooth it off on my bench grinder. It works really well I still use it for small injections 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
