Does anyone know where I might get a small (6"x12") piece of 1/4" thick felt to renew the slide wipers on my Centec mill?
Regards

Chemists sell thick felt for orthopoedic purposes. T.O.

Thanks for the information guys. I emailed Completeautomobilist and got a very prompt reply giving a very reasonable price inc VAT and P/P.
I had previously spoken to a commercial gasket/oil seal manufacturer, hoping to get an offcut (and I was quite happy to pay a reasonable price,) but what with minimum order price, minimum post/packing and VAT, they were asking £20 for a 12"x6" piece of felt.
I'll try asking the chemists first though about orthopedic felt.
Thanks again
Richard

Why do Big Jim Jehsophat and Fat Belly Jones keep springing to mind every time I spot the thread?  |

You could try your local craft shop that's where I got mine from plus I could choose from a large range of colours

The pads that are sold to fit on chair legs to protect floors might be ok?
I have seen them sold in precut round shapes and in small sheets.
They have a self adhesive backing but that should not be a problem to remove if need be - and they are cheap.

The felt pads used as floor protectors work fine - been using them for years
