Has anybody tried this material for making replacement wheel bushes? I have made up a few but so far have not had any feedback as to the longevity of them and replacing all the bushes/bearings on a mower is not cost effective.

G'day Norm
Machining nylon rod is a specialist field.
I have had some experience in this.

A better solution may be available.

In my field, we have 'nylon shoulder washers'.
These essentially 'mimic' nylon bushes used on lawnmower wheels.

I would need good measurements to investigate alternatives.
But the clear message is: any nylon bush can be reproduced
at an economical cost in the modern world.

Cheers
Jack

Thanks Jack, the big problem is my low demand, probably a few hundred and that is too low for anybody to bother with. Also what is it that makes machining nylon a "specialty" I find it is good to work with and I thought that this delrin material had good wear properties.
Cheers Norm
