Different Pucks

[David S.]

Does anyone know of any pucks that can be milled that are not as rigid as pmma that I can use for some experimental ortho designs. I am creating some top secret "stuff" and they need some give. I didn't know if there was anything out there.

Wax or dense foam...

The wax would not work. I'm not sure about the foam. Where would I obtain a foam puck?

I don't know of any dental sized foam pucks out there...you need to make your own form bigger stock... Could also try delrin...easy to machine and quite resilient. You'd need very sharp smooth tools with high rake angles, slow feeds...
