Eric, elsethread you said "I sell UHMW and have cut it for more than 10 years."
Please consider yourself invited to toot your horn - a lot of woodworkers find ourselves in need of this stuff from time to time. Are you (or do you want to be) a small-quantity source?

I have UHMW sheet from time to time at my online store;

much right now - I just recently moved the store from ebay Canada to the main site and I haven't got everything up and running yet. Most of what we have is UHMW blocks and Rod stock.
I do have Delrin in the store and I'm adding more over the next week or so. I consider Delrin superior to UHMW because it's more stable dimensionally and it acts like it's more slippery than UHMW despite the fact that the specs say it's not.
I also make the UHMW assortments that you'll see in Woodcraft and Lee Valley tools;

?c=3D2&p=3D43210&cat=3D3,43576,4=3581The coloured UHMW is no longer available ( the supplier disappeared on us), but what's in the bags is the best deal on UHMW you'll likely find. There are assortments of long pieces as well - Woodcraft has an SKU for them, but you'll have to go to Lee Valley's store to find them because they won't ship them.
I have also made a Help center for UHMW - how to cut it, drill it, rout it, etc - you can always email me through that;

AKA UHMWPE - Ultra High Molecular Weight PolyEthylene
It's a dense, soft, non-porous, high-lubricity plastic favored for use in fences, sliding parts, and jigs.
There're photos of UHMW used for shop-built vacuum clamp bodiess at

for non-marring clamp pads to which glue doesn't stick at
