Is it OK for a mortise to be made of delrin?

Perfectly fine. Don't listen to the delrin naysayers

, there just a little cranky cause their prunes haven't kicked in yet

Yes, it's fine. Just don't put a Delrin tenon in it. Delrin on anything else is slick; Delrin on Delrin is grabby.

Sweet, thanks gents. Makes my idea for adding shank extensions easier!

Yeah, I'm working on a pipe that uses a delrin mortise, I turned an integral Ebonite tenon on the stem, such a nice fit!
