Post by jonharl »

Can anyone refer me to a source for Bakelite sheet goods. I'm looking for stock .25" thick.
Thanks,
Jon

Dunno about bakelite for sure, but you can get most anything else (delrin might be a good substitute) as stock sheet or tubes or etc. through McMaster-Carr. www.mcmaster.com

Tell us something.: I've been playing whistle for a very long time, but never seem to get any better than I was about 10 years ago. I'm okay with that. :)

This looks fun! Any makers out there have diamond tools?

Dielectric strength is 220 volts/mil for all except substrate squares, which have a dielectric strength of 600 volts/mil. Density is .10 lbs./cu.in. Compressive strength is 300,000 psi.
