I second McMaster-Carr. For about $10, one can get enough high quality Delrin to make a plethora of washers (aka thrust bearing bushings).
No need for any fancy fabrication. Simple trace out the washer and cut it out with a coping saw. I used a jig saw and then cleaned up the edges with a Dremel sanding drum. Since the flat planar surface is the important surface, cleaning up the cut edge is only for cosmetic reasons. From Sharpie to finished product should take less than 5 minutes. Have a look at the section on “thrust Bearing Bushing” on my blog for steering and rudder work. I have a picture of this process and a short description. http://svjohannarose.blogspot.com/2014/12/rudder-and-steering.html <http://svjohannarose.blogspot.com/2014/12/rudder-and-steering.html> > On Nov 21, 2019, at 6:41 AM, [email protected] wrote: > > Message: 4 > Date: Wed, 20 Nov 2019 21:34:16 -0500 > From: bwhitmore <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> > To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > Subject: Re: Stus-List delrin washer > Message-ID: > <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > > McMaster Carr and use hole saws on a sheet?Just an idea...Sent from my > Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone
