Yes, a bit of machining is good for the spirit
Meditation is concentrating the front mind on a mundane task so that the rest of the mind can find peace.

I will still try to pierce the point stainless steel ...

Be careful!
Here's what I have in mind for the dart, 8mm body diameter and six fins.

Wonderful and beautiful!

How many time to do it?
Enough not to make mass production feasible
I also need to make a delrin plug to stop the tungsten's inertia making it fall out...

I am sure!
And if is glued the tungsten? a little hot glue or epoxy ...
The stainless steel point was glued with hot glue on the aluminum body

Definitely will need some epoxy, but it's better to have something physical between the pusher plate and the tungsten.

Yep,

Tungsten: 19.25 g/cm<sup>3</sup>
Delrin: 1.42 g/cm<sup>3</sup>

it is beautiful! it shines!
With tungsten carbide it will weigh 38.46g, practically 40g with delrin!
EDIT :
you'll put the delrin like that?

More muzzle energy but lower velocity, so less chance of the tungsten core shattering. I want this thing to go through both flanges of the beam
