Anybody know of somewhere in the general OKC area I could get some Delrin plastic blocks without spending a small fortune? Ideal would be black Delrin 1"x1"x1" or something a bit bigger than I can work down to a smaller size. I can order it from McMaster Carr but it would be nice to find a local source. |

I used a heavy duty cutting board from walmart, cut it into strips with a table saw, but any saw will do, it's approx 1/2" or maybe 9/16" thick so you could epoxy it together if it isn't absolutely critical it not have a joint.
it made a pretty good set of padded jaws for my bench vice. |

Pretty good advice, Brother L!

Regal plastics on W Reno yep regal, forgot about them.....if it's plastic they've probably got it in stock price be damned 
it is pretty cool to see a demo of their "lexan" bullet proof material...............at least if I recall it's called "lexan"; it's been 20something years since I was last at regal

I bought a sheet of Delrin about 20 years ago at Regal. It cost me well over $150 and another $150 to have the machine shop make the strips out of it.
That crap ain't cheap. The fall off I bought from a machine shop was cheap because it was not usable. I made stand off's for a knife switch with those pieces. If you go in to Regal and ask for certain custom size pieces, you are gonna pay through the nose. |
