Turning plastic bushings

Just checked McMaster Carr & it looks like about $2 each for the material if I use 1" OD and bore the hole.
$23,16 for a `12" piece. Darn stuff for sure ain't cheap!

So Delrin would be a good choice?

I bought some drops on Ebay. When you price Delrin you’re going to think it has gold in it.
I bought a ten pack of 2” stock X 2” long. For $26 plus $7.99 postage. That’s a good deal.
McMaster has one foot of 2” stock for $113 plus shipping.
Anyway, you may want to check it out.
 
nobody mentioned UHMW which I use very sucessfully and it can hold up good for wear. I have a large supply of UHMW so that is my choice for bushings on my many cub cadets----one 100--two 149's--one 1330--one 1250--I think that's all, and a couple deeres and a 953 wheel horse. Dave
 
Can you get your bushings out of 1" square? I will check, but I have feet of it from the dump.
 
I've used Delrin many times for bushings and other applications. Never had a problem with it, and it machines very easily.
 
Ya gotta park 'em and cover up the head lights so they can't see each other!
They are kinda like coat hangers in a closet, they have a tendency to reproduce over night!!
