Ed, where's your Stanley "Sureform"? rasp? that'll whack it down so's your sander won't get all loaded up.

Steve,
Good point. I don't have the rasp but I do have a Sureform block plane. I'll have to dig that out since it will make the job go quicker. Thanks for the suggestion.

Ed, now that I've moved to NS I know what "small town" is like. I call NS "the land of you can't get that here"LOL

Wash your mouth out Willie - why else do we have lathes???
I couldn't help myself Darren. My middle name is "
Facetious".
And obviously the reason we have lathes is so we can make things like Delrin adapters normally made from "unobtainium", that will outlast the life of the tool it is being used on ten-fold.
Oooops.... there I go again.
Ed,
If I didn't read the thread, I thought you're showing off your commercially available adapter that works with your vac and sander. Nice looking piece of plastic.
Did you not get all the stringy stuff produced when turning or cutting delrin? It got pretty messy quickly when I was milling my daughter's name on one while testing my cnc setup on the Sherline 2 years back. Lots of sanding to get rid of them.
I would want to make one for my bandsaw.
Regards,
Wong

Wong,
Thanks.
I got some stringy swarf but none that stuck to the work piece so no sanding was required.
