Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It’s pretty easy to turn, however it does require reduced speeds. I use this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have purchased countless items from iPlastic . The smaller pieces always ship quickly and everything has been well packed. I’ve never had an issue with an order.

They look the same, but for practical use there are some differences that can make one better than the other. It also depends 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,as it gives an nice finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a pretty low moisture absorption making it the ideal grade for food contac...
