Delrin is a great plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It’s very easy to turn, however it does require reduced speeds. I’ve used this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have purchased many items from iPlastic . Smaller pieces usually ship quickly and everything has been well packed. I’ve never had a problem with an order. Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are very durable and easily machinable, as they have similar physical properties. They do look similar, but in practical uses 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 appropriate properties you may need for your application. Our Acetal Sheet is definitely our primary material for machining,giving an great finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a very low moisture absorption making it the usual grade for food contact and where the ...
