Machining polyurethane bar into bushes AKL

Yes It's a shit of a thing to machine. Freezing makes it easier and having an air supply to cool your tool helps. High rake angle and razor sharp tool helps a lot too.  The boys at SAS or Autoline (I've forgotten who) here in Christchurch have someone who can machine bushes and I'm fairly sure hes based up your way. Might pay to ring them.

Never heard of freezing it first.. and I machined the shit for 16 years. Depending on the hardness, then tool steel is the best To use.

If you go see the boys at LEP in onehunga, they will look after you.  Plus they pour polyurethane there, so if you had originals, then they can make a mould from them and then pour as many as you like
