Guest dances Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) shows a remarkable chemical resistance and it is insoluble in all known solvents. It is attacked only by molten alkali metals and by fluorine at high temperatures. PTFE is incombustible and may be used up to 260°C (300°C for short periods). PTFE's coefficient of friction is extremely low and it shows the effect of self lubrication with constant mechanical properties which makes it particularly suitable for bearings, joints, O-rings, stirring bars, hazardous materials bottle pouers, syringes, crucubles, evaporating dishes etc. PTFE may be shaped by compression and sintering into bottles and beakers where its chemical stability and non-wettability make it suitable for use in extreme circumstances. Based on the advice from casso, jigsaw, strongstuff and westy i have made a break stick from ptfe. 5 minutes of sawing and i had this bit of lathe, file and hemery clothe and i have the finished product Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Westy76 546 Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Dances it's nearly there mate but to many straight edges it all needs rounding off bud,the ones I've had look like "cough" old stlye vibrator ie smooth and round but flattened end but not looking like a chisel if that makes sense. Google break sticks there's a fella on a apbt site doing em Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Born Hunter 17,960 Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 [NO TEXT TALK] shed some light of this ,i haven,t got a clue what yous are on about and what you use it for ? Theyre used for breaking the dog off of its quarry. Ive only seen one dog which would need one, all others Ive seen loose interest rapidly after the quarry is dead. Mostly used with terrier blooded dogs. Pretty standard kit for those that worked strong dogs from what I understand. Im sure those in the know will explain in more depth.

unlacedgecko 1,467 Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Dances, you get some stick on here I know, but this thread is a good one. If you do make any more of these I will definetly buy one for the terriers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They are ideal for breaking up fights between terriers as well! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest dances Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Well if there was enough lads that wanted them I would make up a few. Is there anyone in the uk that makes them to a decent standard? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
