Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Making your own Ball nuts

Yes Tim I remember the discussion of what the stuff
is made of and how to make it at home.

Do I know the ingredients?
Yup.

Can I talk about it?
Nope.

So as before I must bow out of that discussion. But for folks contemplating
making homemade polymer bearing compound... go for it-
and good luck!

I'll just buy the stuff ready made if I need more and concentrate
on the machine it is going in to.
