Ebonite rod
Posted: Sat Jul 24, 2021 11:52 am
I have acquired some ebonite rod approx. 22mm round cut to 6 inch lengths. It machines really well and polishes up a treat. It will take a thread but it needs to be cut using very sharp tooling and run at high speed. It smells when machining so extract is a good idea and a face covering like an air fed mask helps.
I had a commission for a leaving present they wanted the item in some thing different it turned out really well. I will be using ebonite again. I have added it to my choice of materials.
Polyester I have stopped using horrible stuff very brittle a night mare to turn and finish.
