No problem jamesp. On Amazon look below the image of the sheet where it says: Size Name 6"x12", click the > to the right & you will see more sizes available in this thickness. Ha, I had been casually looking for a thick chunk of rubber for a couple of months. No idea what to use for a search word. Finally found some in truck aftermarket suspension parts. Been anxious to spot the tumbler into 2 or 3 sections. I think it is a good solution to my problem. Two big rocks in the same rotary or vibe do not jive. Some rocks are hard enough, but not many.

Have you seen those flex seal commercials? One they show pouring the liquid stuff and making a thick rubber pad. Maybe...? You could even make your own mold and pour the stuff in to the desired thickness with no cutting involved. www.flexsealproducts.com/product/liquid/attn: 27 sec. mark

I think I could set the hopper on edge and pour it straight into the end. Masking tape to dam it in for a 3/4" pour. It would be moulded to exact shape. Maybe rub a bit of vaseline so that it would not stick. As it is I have to wrestle with cutting 1 inch rubber to fit. Will cut a piece of rigid card stock for a cutting pattern. But cutting rubber that thick is a pain. The band saw may do the job but may not have enough power.

@shotgunner
It is a ragged out band saw. May need to get a new blade. Sears model, blades available.

I have cut up boot rubber boot soles in the wide(~4") direction. That challenged it. 1" should be no problem.

Saved bunch of money. Finally got that ankle fused and the Doc straightened it out with a saw and screws, Home Depot nut driver. These days they set compound broken tibia/fibia with a metal plate to avoid crooked leg bones.
