Now that I got a lathe I need to got some stock to work on and practice.
I was looking at onlinemetals.com but I don't know how their prices, quality and shipping speed compare with others out their.
Any recommendations?
I'd like to get some Al (would you recommend 6061 or 7075 for a beginner to practice with?)
Some CuTe CU145 for some heatsink work.
Some delrin (is acetyl the same thing?) or would nylon be better?
Sorry for the noob questions. I'm sure I'll have many more to come in the next few months as I spend time reading through this sub-forum.
