Re: Which Plastic to Use?

Nylon 66 machines nicely,takes self tappers,will not crack or shatter when cutting and you can even plane it with a low angle wood plane(!).
Having used it extensively to make component links and bearings for a windvane I can testify to its uv resistance in the tropics after several years..
Starboard or Kingboard is also very good too and stable,like what you cut the bread on,as mentioned.
