Delrin is old stuff, and pretty common. I think Aircraft Spruce carries
it, but rods only, not sheets. Cost-wise, it's about 1.5 times more
expensive than Nylon. I have no idea of its density, but it feels about
the same than Nylon.

Can you tell us some more about this material, what type of plastic,
density, where do you get it and what cost compared to other plastics.

Oh, and by the way, the shop that sold the sheet to me said that it can be
glued, too. Haven't tried it yet.

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!
