Tufnol Sheet Material 200 x150x2,0 mm

This material is phenolic resin reinforced with artificial fibers. It is self lubricating and wear resistant. It is used industrially to make gearwheels, guides and bushes.

For us modellers Tufnol is perfect for horns, hinges, fittings and similar. No more ground down screws and wear widened holes as you get with epoxy/glass laminate. Closed loop control wires have an almost unlimited life when Tufnol is used for the horns.

Tufnol is brown in color and can easily be cut with a fret saw. It can also be CNC-milled. With CNC-milling the cutter must be air cooled.

Rough up with coarse grit paper areas to be glued with epoxy (Araldite 2011) or instant glue.
