Delrin washers

[Rheemhater]

Doing a EQ6-G and ordered a set of Delrin washers . Upon arrival I was alittle surprised at what i received . The washers were stamped out of a sheet with dull dyes . Believe me when I say i'm here to bash . The man was very nice , the price was excellent , the service was fast . We communicated after the fact and he said he would refund my money . ( which i wouldn't do ) My question to you fine folks is ..if i try to sand most of the imperfections out should i use these ? The only issue i think about is the rips on the inside , can't sand those out ! I'm putting alot of effort into this mount and i don't want to do something that i shouldn't .

Look like junk to me, they should have been made on a lathe from bar stock.

What are the inner and outer diameters and thickness dimensions supposed to be?

[Rheemhater]

0.020 , 0.015 , 0.010 thickness  . 1.590 in , 2.218 outer . I believe there to thin to turn on a lathe .

Yup, thats thin but not impossible.

I follow a few Youtube machinists and three precision engineers that I know that will be able to make them are Tom Lipton of Oxtools, Joe Pieczynski and Robin Renzetti.

I'm sure one of them posted a video of making thin washers or shims.

Have you looked around https://www.superiorwasher.com/

They manufacture the sizes you want in a wide variety of materials.

Might be worth dropping them an enquiry (unless they were your original supplier 😮)
