Im looking at building a couple slider rails to go on an older Alumaweld. I see the metal bolt on ones you can buy from Willie, but Im thinking about making some out of UHMW.
Does anyone know where you would get some scap material for this. Around the Puyallup/Tacoma area?
Thanks in advance!

If you know anyone from one of the plants like Simpson, or the log mill you might score some they have taken off. I did this and just turned it over and put the worn side down. There is also a used metal place down by La Quinta Inn that may have some.

about 40 inches long by and an inch wide. Long strips basically that I can cut down to make rails.
Any and all help pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Great material to work with. Yes it is. Machines very well. Just remember to allow for thermal expansion.

DRL, thanks for the help on this. I think 1/4 inch will work. Please let me know if you can get your hands on some 1/2 too. I really appreciate the help on this. I
