I was buying few things today in Downtown and in one store i found polyacetal rods... I searched through net and found out that Polyacetal is in fact one of the names for Delrin... is this correct??

i have another question ...
why we don't use Delrin for the whole stem, not just for the tenon??? Is it toxic or something...??
thanks for the answers - regards

Delrin is great for tenons due to it's self lubricating properties. However, it's too soft for stems. It would get chewed through in no time. It also can't take a high shine, and frankly would look pretty bad.
