That’s what the guy uses to make the Goblin tips. And I am a CNC GOD!

You mean that color on this tank?

That is actually that green material in this tip.

I guess he bought it all out. I just ordered a couple of pieces of the bronze and blue and the lime mesh.
Much more fun than white delrin.

Use black Delrin if you have any. Make it the core for the heat resistance.

I have a Unimat

And a Denford Micromill in my closet!

And a whole shop full of CNC mills and lathes :stuck_out_tongue::stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

I’d settle for an old Bridgeport Knee mill for my garage and a bigger lathe to chase threads on gun barrels with.
I worked in an old school machine shop for 15 years. No CNC. We though we where uptown when we got digital indicators for our knee mills.
