Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It’s pretty easy to turn, however it does require slower speeds. I have used this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered many items from a plastic shop in Anaheim. Small parts usually ship promptly and everything was well packed. I have never had a problem with an order.
Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are incredibly durable and easily machinable, and they have very comparable physical properties. They do look the same, but for practical use there are some differences that may 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 applicable properties you may need for your application.
Our Acetal Sheet is definitely our primary material for machining,as it gives an great finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a very low moisture absorption making it the usual grade for food contact and where the dimensional stability is important. Acetal Sheet has an ideal combination of high mechanical strength, hardness and toughness, giving it excellent sliding properties, electrical insulation, and wear resistance.
Acetal Sheet has countless uses and is especially of value in the food preparation industry. Because of its low moisture absorption it helped it to achieve Food & Drug Administration approval in addition to its excellent sliding abilities which aid with very low friction and hard wearing food safe components.
Acetal Sheets are of the plastics used within the auto industry because of its long lasting dimensional stability and toughness. It offers solutions for designers to help them produce long lasting and very durable components. Another popular area for Acetal Sheet is in marine applications. This environment suits acetal quite because the low moisture absorption results in components that will not expand or change dimensions due to contact with water.
