Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It is simple to turn, although it does require reduced speeds. I use this plastic to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have purchased many items from a plastic shop in Anaheim . Smaller parts always ship quickly and everything has been well packed. I’ve never had an issue with an order. Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are exceptionally durable and easily machinable, as they have comparable physical properties. They do look similar, but in practical uses there are some differences that can make one preferable than the other. It also depends 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 best 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 usual grade for food conta...

Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It is simple to turn, however it requires reduced speeds.
