Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a lathe lathe. It is pretty easy to turn, although it does require slower speeds. I have used this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have bought numerous items from iPlastic . Smaller 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 exceptionally durable and easily machinable, as they have very similar physical properties. They do appear the same, but for practical uses there are some differences that may make one preferable than the other. It also depends on your application. As with all plastic materials, be sure to check the typical properties data sheet for the desired 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. Its got a very low moisture absorption making it the usual gra...
