The illusive Boxford 260vmc

Problem is that it has so many trade names, or even none.
ABET is one , Traffolite is another.
and these people have no name for it

Hey thanks Phill, you would have thought it would be much more common wouldnt you, it looks like this is just the sort of forum it would get used and spoken alot.

Im determined to find a supply of it, as i think it is something i know i will use in the future. the panel im designing is 16.5" x 7.5" but i suspect i will have to buy a bigger sheet so i will have to find some more projects to use it on:naughty:

Again thanks Phill

Phenolic is the American name for Tufnol, it's not a two part material.

It was called Phenolic board a three part white-black-white and black-white-black 20 plus years ago and was purchased in the UK I still have small stock and paperwork for it.

The earliest form of the phenolic was bakelite,just an old material brought back to life with a new material added.
