Re: Polyacetal ?
i have another question ...
why we don't use Delrin for the whole stem, not just for the tenon??? Is it toxic or something...??

Re: Polyacetal ?
Delrin is great for tenons due to it's self lubricating properties. However, it's too soft for stems. It would get chewed through in no time. It also can't take a high shine, and frankly would look pretty bad.
