At http://www.vexlabs.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=75 in the VexLABS fora, VexLABS gives their reasoning for using the material they chose. That doesn't mean that their crystal ball properly foresaw where the treads would see the most use by most customers; but it does explain why they chose the plastic (delrin?) that is used.

PS: EVERYONE - According to the folks who answer questions posed in the VexLABS fora, VexLABS does not monitor these Chief Delphi fora/threads. We need to devise a way to get our suggestions and requests from here and into the VexLABS fora. Is there a moderator who can become resopnsible for posting summaries on the VexLABS site?
