Default Turning Rulon

I turned some Rulon today to make some bearings. Nice stuff, although you
really have to keep the cutoff tool close to the chuck.

Where did you get it from? What sort of stuff are you making?

It has been recommended as the best seal material for Stirling
engines, which I've been wanting to do some work on, so I've
been keeping my eye open for info on the stuff.

I have machined a fair bit of plain Teflon, however.
