Cheapest demo material for milling.

Post by TimPower » Wed 03 May , 2006 14:34 pm

Can anyone tell me what that white easily machinable material is called and where I can purchase it from? Also, are there some double sides pads availible for mounting it?
The idea of giving all my students a 100*100 block of Delrin would pretty much break the bank. Also, have people tried other materials for simple demo purposes. I'm a bit wary of MDF incase the dust could damage the encoders.
I'd be grateful for any tips.
Best regards,
Tim.

Try https://stores.ebay.co.uk/CAD-CAM-Consumables
(shameless plug I know :D)

The high density green foam stuff cuts 3D models really well and can be used to vacuum form over
