Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It’s easy to turn, however it requires slow speeds. I use this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought numerous items from Industrial Plastic . Small pieces usually ship promptly and everything was well packed. I have never had an issue with an order. Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are incredibly tough and easily machinable, as they have very comparable physical properties. They do look the same, but in practical uses there are some differences that can make one preferable than the other. It also depends on your application. As with any plastic materials, make sure to check the typical properties data sheet for the appropriate properties you may need for your application. Our Acetal Sheet is definitely our choice material for machining,as it gives an great finish both on manual and CNC Machines.

Dupont Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It’s pretty easy to turn, although it does require reduced speeds. I’ve used this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered many items from iPlastic . Small parts always ship quickly and everything has been well packed. I have never had an issue with an order. Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are very durable and easily machinable, and they have very comparable physical properties. They look the same, but in practical use there are some differences that can make one better than the other. It also depends heavily on your application. As with all plastic materials, make sure to check the typical properties data sheet for the desired properties you may need for your application. Our Acetal Sheet is probably our primary material for machining,as it gives an great finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a very low moisture absorption making it the ideal grade for food contact and whe...
