Notes
- Acetal (POM, Delrin is DuPont's trade name) round rod is sold in inch diameters in the US (Aircraft Spruce lists 1/8 to 2 in: 1/8, 5/16, 3/8, 1/2, 5/8, 3/4, 7/8, 1, 1-3/8, 1-1/2, 2 in) and in metric nominal diameters in Europe (Bearing Boys' table: 4 to 250 mm in 39 sizes). Rods are cut oversize so a part can be machined to size: Bearing Boys prints an oversize tolerance per diameter, which was not extracted here, so the table gives nominal diameters only.
- Two sources do not overlap in size, so nothing here is cross-checked between them; each list is as printed. Bearing Boys' text says rods are available from 10 to 200 mm but its tolerance table runs 4 to 250 mm; both are noted rather than resolved. The inch column of the metric list (mm / 25.4) is a conversion, not catalog data.
- No STEP/STL: a rod is a plain cylinder. Left out: rod lengths, colours (white / black), copolymer vs homopolymer grade, nylon, HDPE, UHMW and PTFE rod and sheet (the task listed them; no distributor table of their sizes was read in this pass).

Questions
What diameters does Delrin rod come in?
Inch: 1/8, 5/16, 3/8, 1/2, 5/8, 3/4, 7/8, 1, 1-3/8, 1-1/2 and 2 in (Aircraft Spruce). Metric: 4, 5, 6, 8, 10 mm up to 250 mm (Bearing Boys).
Is acetal rod oversize?
Yes, rods are made slightly over nominal; Bearing Boys prints an oversize tolerance per diameter (not extracted here).
