I thought I'd get some delrin rod to make some bushes for use when I am finishing my creations.
Trouble is I only require about half a metre.
The two places I've contacted have minimum purchases of $50 or $80
I've only got prices over the phone from Allplastics which are not far from me.
They've suggested these prices
- 20 mm rod - natural $22 per metre
- 20 mm rod - black $13.75 per metre
- 16 mm rod - natural $8.69 per metre
- 16 mm rod - black $9.35 per metre
They have a minimum order of $50 - I'm not real confident about these prices as the person in the know is on leave this week. But I think they are indicative.
My biggest bushes (at the moment) are about 15 mm so could probably get away with the 16 mm but am happy to go to the 20 mm if anyone is interested. the 20 mm would also give a bigger leeway for error in drilling. I reckon half a metre would make about 25 - 30 bushes
As I really don't need more then say half a metre do others want to participate? I'd be happy to go to 750mm or a metre if there were limited numbers interested. I'm trying not to spend $50 and end up with stock I really don't require. And I would rather spend $13.75 and have a little stock left over then spend $50 and have heaps.
It may be possible to get it cheaper. I haven't even asked for prices from the minimum $80 per order people. They are a couple of suburbs away.
I also have no idea how much this stuff weighs - so if there were postage involved I couldn't guess how much it might cost. But I could cut to length for prepaid paks.
So anyone interested? and if so an indication of what you would like.
