Thanks for the effort! I looked at Delrin and came up with the about the same $'s. The plastics guy I talked to said UHMW (black) was a good choice and will last.

I'm not sure what Krogen uses either. They would have it made over seas with one of their suppliers that makes the rollers for Krogen.

I just heard back from a machine shop here in Jacksonville. Without seeing the roller, but I gave them all the specs, $75-100 each. I can get black UHMW for $63 which will make 2. Krogen is $118 each. So the numbers are pretty close and I get exactly what I want. I'll go visit the shop next week and let you know what I find out.
