    This Delrin stuff sounds very attractive - I machine a lot of my
    cast pieces, so the machinability interests me very much. However,
    a lot of filing is involved in those same pieces. Someone
    mentioned that filing was possible, but messy - was that messy as in
    "makes a lot of shavings" or messy as in "gets all 'chewy' and
    leaves a nasty surface"? 

    Does anyone know of a good source for small quantities of the stuff?
    I know Woodcraft sells "grab bags" of high-molecular-weight plastic,
    but I'd like a better idea of exactly what material I was working
    with, for sake of repeatability. 

Thanks so much for all your help,
