Hi,
Many thanks David for adding this Tufnol substitute information.
http://www.directplastics.co.uk/tufnol-sheet
I buy from the above company and as the site is near enough I visit to collect. Upon my first visit years ago I enquired if they had any offcuts I could buy? Yes they had and I came away with a car load free of charge being told it was better for them to give me the offcuts than having to pay to dispose of them. I returned at a later date taking a selection of chocolates by way of thank you and obtained a few more useful offcuts of various materials.
I was assured that if I left my email address they would bag a lot of the offcuts up for me and let me know when to collect; I offered to pay but as this offer was rejected I said I would take along more chocolates.
Later still when I needed Whale Tufnol for headstock bearings I visited the site again and whilst there asked about offcuts? Sorry we don't do offcuts!!
Out of interest I've just checked Directplastics Whale Tufnol price for 4mm thick and a sheet 300mm x 300mm costs a rather expensive £11.88 inc VAT?
For normal workshop use the substitute will be sufficient whilst offering a huge saving.
Kind regards, Col.
