Size for Size, I've found Delrin to be cheaper than Ally

I bought a block 4" x 4" x 2" for £4 GBP off of e-bay

I looked at the delrin lead screw nut on the Z axis of my CNC rig and it is much thinner than what I am doing.. So now I know that if worse comes to worse, delrin 'will' work for me...

Oh, and I have been noticing that a certain poster doesn't have much nice to say about anyones efforts, so I'd take it with a pinch of salt If you think about the alignment of a chain on a pedal bike ... it's not very accurate at all !

Keep up the good work

I just bought some to experiment with, because I thought I should !

It seems to be used and recommended a lot, so it seemed like the right thing to do

I'll be making a nut for my new Z 1st. Then maybe some bearing blocks. Housings for some limit switches ... But mainly just 'playing' to see what all the fuss is about .

Let me know how the machining goes for you...
bits, feeds, speeds, etc...

I can add, ...

I cut some on my band saw ... cut's easy
I tried it with a block plane ... cuts easy
