Do you know who makes teflon cone for Stem? Where can I find a teflon cone for acrylic stems?

I get all mine from Online Metals:

They're in the US, and I don't know if they ship to Turkey, but it's worth asking. You can also get it from McMaster-Carr:

Try http://www.janzen-pfeifen.de

They sell the pre-cut, pre-roughed tenons you are looking for. Kurt was recommending a tool and plastics supplier that would have the raw material, but I gather that you are looking for the finished product to insert into a stem, rather than hand fitting each piece. Janzen has what you are looking for unless you want to handmake each one.

Best,

Jeff

Jeff, Thank you very much!
I found it following link. Yes, I am looking for the same of teflon cone. But I think it is expensive. I will contact it.

I took the liberty of assuming he meant "cylinder", but I could have been wrong.

Hakan,

you may also try to contact Peter Klein in Germany http://www.kleinpipes.de

He's selling all usually used parts from pipemaker to pipemaker, but I can't say, if he'll send them to Turkey. Send him an email and ask for his pricelist.

You're right Jeff, I didn't even consider the pre-made tenons. The operation is so quick that I don't even think about it when I make my tenons. I had assumed (falsely) that Hakan was looking for the raw material.
