I have smaller pieces of Delrin. (Don Foreman would know better if it is delrin). white color. 1x1x1 inch
iHi folks,
I'm looking for about 12 inches of 1/2 inch square nylon bar. It's to make some new feet for an art deco Scotch tape dispenser. I've tried my usual suppliers but can't find any.
Does anyone have a piece to spare? I'd prefer natural nylon as opposed to some lubricant-impregnated kind. Colour is unimportant. In fact, it needn't by nylon so long as it's machinable, not too brittle and not too rubbery.
Anyone got a piece to spare? If so, let me know your price including shipping to England. I can pay with PayPal or UK cheque. E-mail me at snipped-for-privacy@cantabgold.net if you can help.
Many thanks,
Chris Tidy
Thanks for the offer. Delrin would be okay, but I need at least 3 inches in length.
Best wishes,
Chris
Get some HDPE Any size and cut it down.
I don't think it is delrin or nylon. Might be UHMW PE.
This stuff might work, available at Maplin's:
#63399059 is nylon, 1 foot long, $5.40 #52433414 is UMHW, 5 feet long, $6.66 #63386494 is acetal, 2 feet long, $10.27 #63392237 is acrylic, 6 feet long, $6.63

It's an interesting idea, but I was really looking for something which has a reasonably accurate square form already (otherwise it'll be a nightmare trying to get the dispenser to sit level).
Best wishes,

I have a paper cutter that uses a black, square bar of nylon like material, probably HDPE, as a cutting surface for the cutting disk. this is a replaceable item. " Fiskars home/office 12" rotary paper trimmer " Gerry :-)} London, Canada
My favorite tea-smuggler will be travelling to the UK end of July.
This covert route can be highly unreliable, however. If, for example, you were to have what you want plus a couple more pieces (say 3/4" and
1") shipped here by McMaster, perhaps only the 1/2" piece would find its way to you in the UK later in the summer.
Thanks for that. I'll have to see if they ship internationally.
Best wishes,
Chris
Sadly McMaster don't ship internationally (even though they claim to).
Best wishes,
Chris
Sorry, I don't have any, but have you tried Gilbert Curry?

Assuming you have the cutting ability, it's available in sheet here in
12mm thick:AWEM
When I need something like that, I go to
a) the local scrapyard
b) the off-cut bin at the local plastics merchant
Don't you have one of those?
Hi Chris
If you desire -- I'd buy the "plastic" of your choice for you and mail it from Los Angeles.
Jerry
Did you look at McCarr?
Or US Plastics
Hi, have you considered making your part from a thick cutting board?
