More toys arrived yesterday. This is 2 x 1000mm x 50mm Delrin rod. A fairly tough plastic, dimensionally pretty stable, and very, very easy to machine.
I bought it originally to make anti-backlash nuts, but I suspect it'll find up getting used for a fair few more things than that..
I'm planning to fire up the lathe this evening and turn a couple of nuts for the mini table mill, just to get some experience with the material.
