Go on, make a killing....

I used to sell them myself Hank, £5 each: Link

i used to charge the same for ACME 1/2 x what ever it was. Done on a lathe in the round type works well mounted into a block of ali, then the price go's up tho i guess. You need to get them right, to small a hole befor tapping and they start to thread, to big and the nut will wobble.

They sold well on ebay, shipped them all over the world. I was using hand tools so they did take awhile to make, got better once i started doing them on a jig.

Delrin can be used for other things to.

I do recall - so why did you stop? Have you stopped? (If so, I'm guessing becuase it was a chore making them by hand - presumably a better proposition for someone with a degree of automation ). A fiver per nut is a bargain...and a no brainer for someone contemplating their first CNC build.

It goes to illustrate the point - build it (at the right price) & they will come!**
