I just machined my first Delrin part, and I can tell you Delrin is an absolute pleasure to work with, especially compared with plain Nylon! It does not melt easily, and can be sanded very easily, up to a glaze. Another nice thing is it can be found in black, which looks better than the yellowish Nylon. If you have to make Nylon blocks, like rudder pedal mounts, for instance, you should consider Delrin instead. It has the same mechanical properties.
I think I will find many applications for this thing, because I simply love it! Serge Vidal KR2 "Kilimanjaro Cloud" Paris, france
