| Chuck in E. TN:
I was given a large piece of delrin round stock, 2”x 24”. What can I make from it. I've seen spacers, bushings, and even a bench block made from it on the various forums. What tools or other interesting stuff have you made from delrin? Chuck |

You got a soft point hammer? Do you ever need to persuade bearings on their rightfull places gently, maybe assisted by a max. size soft bushing? Jacking pad (my favorite one is cut out of bar of something like 70 shore PU). Don't just chop it, you will find uses for. My friends lug me all mystery "plastic" pieces they can find, mostly nylon of some sort, but occasionally even bakelite, russian extruded "teflon" or something exotic and they expect some small obscure parts. Don't blurt it out, unless you want to be popular. Pekka |

I use it for my trolley (shopping cart), tokens. When I've run out of aluminium stock........ David D |

Ski's for the walkers, locally they want $13.00 a set, my mother will go thru a set of them in a month during the better weather months. If you do wood turning, you can make finishing bushings. Or if you are turning pens,bottler toppers or other other handle jobs. the instant glue doesn't stick well to it so it is easy to remove the item being turned from the centers or bushings. Flat, and round in other dia get be had from ENCO with their deals at a good price when you need to stock up. The white and the black have differing lube qualities, White or natural has high lubricity, Black is normal lubricity. |

Great for light duty plain bearings that don't need any lubrication - you see it used widely inside computer printers. |
