Top reasons Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a CNC lathe lathe. It really is easy to turn, although it requires slow speeds. I have used this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered numerous items from iPlastic . The smaller parts usually ship promptly and everything is always well packed. We have never had a problem with an order. Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are exceptionally durable and easily machinable, as they have similar physical properties. They do appear similar, but in practical use there are some differences that may make one better than the other. It also depends heavily on your application. As with any 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 choice material for machining,as it gives an great finish both on manual and CNC Machines. It has a pretty low moisture absorption mak...
