303 is the free machining grade.

Word of caution on using scrap metals, "You can not be sure of the grade of the material" which in most cases is fine, but it could cost a lot more in failed components and replace meant tips/cutters.

Aluminium bronze ir really tough. have a think about using PB102 which comes in a limited range of squares, flats and plates.

Gunmetal is not generally available in anything but rounds. LG2 or SAE660 should be fine for the job.

Happen I could help with small quantities.

Hi Cheshire Steve, Just trolling through posts referring to colphos and found your thread. We would have sorted you out with PB102 up to 1/2" dia and PB1 over 1/2".

Discount, you want a discount, why would anyone want a discount? O go on then you twisted my arm ;D My poor mistress will have to miss a shopping trip.

Hey Bogstandard, We dont have a shop as such but you are more than welcome to give me ring and come over. Hey Fixit, But are they as charming and delightful as we are :)

www.nogginend.com stocks both PB1 and Colphos.

Couldn't agree more, when a bit of scrap works, it works, but scrap will bite you on the bum if it gets a chance (its not scrap for no reason) Here comes the plug now www.nogginend.com

This is a blatant plug for which I offer no apologies: http://www.nogginend.com/ UK based and can ship to Mars if you pay the postage.

Its a late reply but http://www.ensinger.ltd.uk/ Have a data sheet for machining many plastics

UK grade number for mehanite quality is "250" if anyone is interested.

Same applies to 316 as well. Slow speed and give it some welly.
