I recently made Sherline nuts using the Philadelphia Resins product. Its
label does say it contains graphite. The screws work very well, although
I do not have many hours on them yet. I wrote a note on how I made them
and the results, which I think I poisted tothe Sherline @egroups.com
list.

I arranged for a sles engineer from Moglice to speak at our ME club. He
said moglice used Molybdenum Disulfide. I would have ordered Moglice
instead of the Philadelphia Resins except the PA was cheaper.

I would like to try some Molybdenum Disulfide mixed into WEST epoxy. I
intend to make nuts for my Grizzley as soon as I get a day in the shop.
