hallo folks
I would like any advice on the turning qualities of delrin, is it similiar to vulcanite?I agree with the recent talk of stems becoming loose etc,delrin is surely a step in the right direction, for me at least

I have found that it is *nothing* like turning vulcanite. It's much more flexible, and it's low friction properties demand extremely sharp tools.
