I have more virgin electrical grade PTFE Teflon round rod than I'll
ever use. Lots of 1-1/2, 2, and 2-1/2 dia; some larger and smaller.
I'd like to get 20%-25% of McMaster price, depending on quantity,
extent of the surplus, etc. The stuff is on McM p.3574

Trades are also good. Right now I'm on the prowl for MT3 and MT4
drills, MT4 and MT5 centers, a D1-6 faceplate, CA (400) size
toolholders.

Not sure why I need it, but i don't have any. I do have too many
drills in that size range. email me what you're looking for
karltownsendATembarqmail.com

lets trade approximately equal retail values.

Sounds good to me, Karl. I'll email you with more specifics on drill
sizes.

There's a few more things I'd like to dispose of you or someone else
might be interested in.

B&S and Unitron toolmaker's microscopes
B&L stereozoom microscope
banding tool and seals
big spotfacers/c'bores
carbide inserts and cartridges
planer gage (Lufkin 901)
Mitutoyo digital mic head

No, it's all at least 3/8", mostly over 3/4".

I didn't know I needed this until I saw your post. :-)

What's this stuff normally used for? (would have guessed rollers or
some chemically resistant app so I am thrown by the electrical grade
mention)


PTFE also has some desirable electrical properties, which, along with
heat resistance, makes it a good insulator for some applications. I
think the term "electrical grade" is used to mainly to distinguish
between virgin and reprocessed (mechanical grade) material. The
downside for load bearing parts like rollers is that PTFE is rather
soft and not wear resistant.

PTFE also has some desirable electrical properties,

It's used up to the GHz range....not just power frequencies.

Ive got a 5MT you can have simply for shipping. If you want to send
something in return..its up to you...

Other stuff you might want to take a look at...

Ill have to check and see what live 4MTs I have. Ive a bunch of 3MTs and
I usually use adapters..but I do have a few.

I do microwave circuit design, and we use Rexolite a fair amount. It's
basically polystyrene, but they have to make it using a special process.
The stabilizer chemical used for regular polystyrene is very lossy. I
think it's also more heavily cross linked than typical polystyrene. It
machines quite well, and doesn't melt as easily as the normal stuff.

The stabilizeer is really critical if you want to store or ship the
styrene monomer material. Once it starts cross-linking, it's exothermic.
The hotter it gets, the faster it cross-links, and you get a run-away
reaction which can easily end up in a fire. Dow chemical had a huge tank
of it that took off on them a number of years ago.

Are you willing / able to cut it up into $20 sample kits like Aircraft

8" long pieces of sizes smaller than 1-1/2 dia would fit in USPS small
Flat Rate Box. But I don't have much that's smaller than 3/4" or 1".
Give me some idea of your preference and I'll see what works.

USPS also has a Priority Mail Flat Rate padded envelope (9 x 12+-) for
$5. It could be stuffed with larger diams's.

I might use slices off the rod for antenna insulators or repair parts for
old broken ceramic or plastic parts in test equipment. All I have now are
Delrin and PVC, OK for mechanical parts but lossy at UHF frequencies.

How would you ship the larger material?

Sounds like little chunky pieces might work for you, in which case $20
worth might still fit in a small FRB, or one of the envelopes Bob
mentioned. If short, large diameter plus some slender pieces would
suit your needs, I'll look thru the bucket of cut-offs.
