You can make or buy them. The company that provides the fixture and blanks also supplies cad and nc files for making your own blanks as required. The holes are critical to accuracy. I think that at around $3.50 per disk which will results in a $500 to $10 000 piece of jewellery simply buying them is cost effective? but I do understand that some folks, like myself are closely related to Mr Scrooge

Thanks Chris.
One more, perhaps silly question. What is the best way to remove the wax chippings off the finished work ?. (the tiny bits of wax seem to stick to my stuff).

blaster!!!!!!!!! woooooooohoooooooo thats the best thing about this job i get to use a high pressure water blaster to clean the compaction off tiny fine wax cuts!!
see here
http://www.redarrow.com.tw/products-yh170.htm
available in the US rebranded as Mystic at about 4 times the price.
BEWARE, turn it down to its lowest setting, it will split your skin open instantly on its standard setting. (i know this from experience)

Thanks again Chris, now I know why some of your wax photos have water droplets on the surface.
I will look out for one of those blaster's 'second user' (I'm 3rd generation related to Mr Scrooge also).
