Re: STOP THE PRESS, NEW SPLIT NUT

[Tim Ziegler]

Hey Vadim,

The material I actually used is UHMW it's a self healing plastic.
so far its working great.
Pretty sure you can find it at Grainger, Ebay and Amazon.
The last stuff I got was through where I used to work.

ok this is not the seller I got my tap from its gone now but like I said 
extremely hard to find but I think it’s the same tap

my second one was from China too but because your only tapping plastic and if 
your carful these Chinese taps are ok

if you can find a better quality tap buy it I looked for 10 years before one 
came up the tap in the video is Chinese

Once I completed that I cut the block in 2 pieces on the scroll saw. 

I then marked the hole for the thumb screw and drilled with a 6.5 mm drill bit.

Tapping then with a 5/16 course thread tap. 

During the drilling process I used the Rocker pen vise. 

To trim the Blocks to fit I used the Rockler Small Parts Jig to hold the block,

and save the fingers. 

Overall I am super happy I took the time to make some and they fit perfect.

there is NO play in that carriage now. Not sure how long they will last, but may

make some with Delrin at some point too.

RE: STOP THE PRESS, NEW SPLIT NUT

[bulkeley]

Easy mistake buddy a lot of people even me gets that wrong from time to time 
the 8 tpi acme is common to cnc machines

That’s why your spiralling router bits dia have to be divisible of ¼ inch or 
your multi start spirals won’t work.

HDPE and Acetal – Some Differences HDPE compared to Delrin Acetal Homopolymer 

The HDPE sheet and rod is a softer material, and is commonly known for its FDA 
certification and used in numerous food applications, such as: one gallon milk 
jugs, cutting boards, colored water glasses/cups, and many, many more. While it 
can be machined, because it is a bit softer and lighter, the tolerances it can 
be machined to are not very tight. It is not bondable, so it makes a great 
non-stick surface for sticky foods and adhesives.

 

 

The Acetal Copolymer and the premium Delrin® Acetal Homopolymer also have FDA 
certification, and are used heavily in the food processing industry. This 
material is a more mechanical material and is used in bearing and wear 
applications, cams, feeder screws, etc. This material is can be machined to 
tight tolerances, and will wear for long periods without lubrication. Due to 
its exceptional wear properties, it is not bondable, thus requiring mechanical 
fastening or threads to assemble. It has a very low water absorption, and you 
will find it in your toilet tank as the white moving parts in the filler 
mechanism. It is an extremely popular material for machinists, as it works much 
like soft brass.

Tim, looks great! I finally got my ACME screw tap in the mail, gotta go pick up 
some Delrin or HDPE next. Or take Dan’s advice and bring all of my saved up 
milk jugs to someone else’s wife’s house and use her oven. Any of y’all want to 
volunteer yours? 

 

Happy Monday.

About two weeks ago (I think) I ordered the requisite tap and it should be here 
tomorrow.  I have no need to use it right away, but wanted to have it as part 
of the system when the time comes.  I have a stash of Delrin and nylon blocks.  

 

Something I didn't know until I was 10 years ago old is that blow molded milk 
jugs and some juice and detergent jugs are made from a form of HDPE.  Why is 
that useful?  Well, the stuff has a very high flash point and can be melted 
safely into a block in any household oven. It doesn't even smell a lot. Then it 
can be sliced with a saw into needed sizes.  It makes a very slick saw or 
router fence surface. Or base plates for router, hand held saws, etc.  If you 
make jigs that fit the miter slot, use the plastic to be the bar.   

 

Pro tip: don't use your wife's oven unless she's out of town for a bit. Or  use 
someone else's wife's oven.

I would stick to Delrin ,

HDPE and Acetal – Some Differences HDPE compared to Delrin Acetal Homopolymer 

The HDPE sheet and rod is a softer material, and is commonly known for its FDA 
certification and used in numerous food applications, such as: one gallon milk 
jugs, cutting boards, colored water glasses/cups, and many, many more. While it 
can be machined, because it is a bit softer and lighter, the tolerances it can 
be machined to are not very tight. It is not bondable, so it makes a great 
non-stick surface for sticky foods and adhesives.

 

 

The Acetal Copolymer and the premium Delrin® Acetal Homopolymer also have FDA 
certification, and are used heavily in the food processing industry. This 
material is a more mechanical material and is used in bearing and wear 
applications, cams, feeder screws, etc. This material is can be machined to 
tight tolerances, and will wear for long periods without lubrication. Due to 
its exceptional wear properties, it is not bondable, thus requiring mechanical 
fastening or threads to assemble. It has a very low water absorption, and you 
will find it in your toilet tank as the white moving parts in the filler 
mechanism. It is an extremely popular material for machinists, as it works much 
like soft brass.

Tim, looks great! I finally got my ACME screw tap in the mail, gotta go pick up 
some Delrin or HDPE next. Or take Dan’s advice and bring all of my saved up 
milk jugs to someone else’s wife’s house and use her oven. Any of y’all want to

that useful?  Well, the stuff has a very high flash point and can be melted

Wow Vadim I am super glad others are now getting on board with this. Saves
tons of plastic in the landfill too then.
If you choose to do the meltdown.
Yeah and the tap was not that expensive. The quality was awesome and I even
think I will reorder another just to
have a spare. Hey we have an abandoned house next door, maybe I could fire
up that oven lol.

[Tim Ziegler]

Great info Dan and thanks for sharing. Yeah I would get booted by my

Re: STOP THE PRESS, NEW SPLIT NUT

[Vadim Sidelnikov]

Tim, looks great! I finally got my ACME screw tap in the mail, gotta go pick up 
some Delrin or HDPE next. Or take Dan’s advice and bring all of my saved up 
milk jugs to someone else’s wife’s house and use her oven. Any of y’all want to 
volunteer yours? 

Happy Monday.

Re: STOP THE PRESS, NEW SPLIT NUT

[Dan Krager]

About two weeks ago (I think) I ordered the requisite tap and it should be 
here tomorrow.  I have no need to use it right away, but wanted to have it 
as part of the system when the time comes.  I have a stash of Delrin and 
nylon blocks.  

Something I didn't know until I was 10 years ago old is that blow molded 
milk jugs and some juice and detergent jugs are made from a form of HDPE.  
Why is that useful?  Well, the stuff has a very high flash point and can be 
melted safely into a block in any household oven. It doesn't even smell a 
lot. Then it can be sliced with a saw into needed sizes.  It makes a very 
slick saw or router fence surface. Or base plates for router, hand held 
saws, etc.  If you make jigs that fit the miter slot, use the plastic to be 
the bar.   

Pro tip: don't use your wife's oven unless she's out of town for a bit. Or  
use someone else's wife's oven.

Yes I suppose I could try them too, but that seems a little tougher

Absolutely Bill and hats off to all the information and direction on finding 
the right tap for me. 

I could not have done it without you. 

Yes I do need to make it so its not proned to tipping. I will work on that on 
the next one. I was 

just tickled to get this far.

Outstanding Tim well done see everyone it can be done. I suggest when you make 
the Delrin ones

You make the sides hang down over the edges of the bracket it helps stop the 
nut from twisting

I own both and I like the one with sides better. congrats you’re the first 
apart from me to make

A leadscrew nut now you know how important that tap is and why I searched for 
many years to find one

Well I finally took the time to make a couple of split nuts from a material 

referred to as HDPE, a self healing white plastic that actually drills and 

taps very nicely. 

I took all my measurements from an other split nut. and cut to a size the 

block I'd be using. I marked out and drilled the piece with a 11 mm Brad point

bit. Then I put in vise and proceeded to tap the ACME thread. Going back and 

forth continually cleaning it out. 

Once I completed that I cut the block in 2 pieces on the scroll saw. 

I then marked the hole for the thumb screw and drilled with a 6.5 mm drill bit.

Tapping then with a 5/16 course thread tap. 

During the drilling process I used the Rocker pen vise. 

To trim the Blocks to fit I used the Rockler Small Parts Jig to hold the block,

and save the fingers. 

Overall I am super happy I took the time to make some and they fit perfect.

there is NO play in that carriage now. Not sure how long they will last, but may

make some with Delrin at some point too. 

See photos attached.

Well I finally took the time to make a couple of split nuts from a material 

referred to as HDPE, a self healing white plastic that actually drills and

I took all my measurements from an other split nut. and cut to a size the 

block I'd be using. I marked out and drilled the piece with a 11 mm Brad point

bit. Then I put in vise and proceeded to tap the ACME thread. Going back and 

forth continually cleaning it out. 

Once I completed that I cut the block in 2 pieces on the scroll saw. 

I then marked the hole for the thumb screw and drilled with a 6.5 mm drill bit.

Tapping then with a 5/16 course thread tap. 

During the drilling process I used the Rocker pen vise. 

To trim the Blocks to fit I used the Rockler Small Parts Jig to hold the block,

and save the fingers. 

Overall I am super happy I took the time to make some and they fit perfect.

there is NO play in that carriage now. Not sure how long they will last, but may

make some with Delrin at some point too.

Re: STOP THE PRESS, NEW SPLIT NUT

[Tim Ziegler]

I think the wear factor on this type of material is much longer then Delrin
for sure.
But yeah testing time for  sure.
I will have to make one for each of my operational machines first lol.

RE: STOP THE PRESS, NEW SPLIT NUT

[bulkeley]

Outstanding Tim well done see everyone it can be done. I suggest when you make 
the Delrin ones

You make the sides hang down over the edges of the bracket it helps stop the 
nut from twisting

I own both and I like the one with sides better. congrats you’re the first 
apart from me to make

A leadscrew nut now you know how important that tap is and why I searched for 
many years to find one

 Well I finally took the time to make a couple of split nuts from a material 
referred to as HDPE, a self healing white plastic that actually drills and taps 
very nicely. I took all my measurements from an other split nut. and cut to a 
size the block I'd be using. I marked out and drilled the piece with a 11 mm 
Brad pointbit. Then I put in vise and proceeded to tap the ACME thread. Going 
back and forth continually cleaning it out. Once I completed that I cut the 
block in 2 pieces on the scroll saw. I then marked the hole for the thumb screw 
and drilled with a 6.5 mm drill bit.Tapping then with a 5/16 course thread tap. 
During the drilling process I used the Rocker pen vise. To trim the Blocks to 
fit I used the Rockler Small Parts Jig to hold the block,and save the fingers. 
Overall I am super happy I took the time to make some and they fit 
perfect.there is NO play in that carriage now. Not sure how long they will 
last, but maymake some with Delrin at some point too. See photos attached.
