I used the PIMO one and was only rarely able to get a great fit. I recently switched to delrin and absolutely love it. I think it is the best choice for those of us without the precision of a metal lathe.

Even if you do have a metal lathe Delrin is still a great choice, its quicker and makes a superior tenon IMO. I still use delrin on every pipe I can. I use the lathe now and then to cut tenons as certain stem styles require it, but i dont like it and try to avoid it if possible.
