Analyzing differences among Copolymer Acetal and Homopolymer Acetal in Sheet or Plate and Round Rod
Dupont Delrin is the best plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It is very easy to turn, but it does require slow speeds. I’ve used this stuff to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have ordered numerous items from a plastic shop in Anaheim . The small pieces usually ship promptly and everything was well packed. I’ve never had a problem with an order. Between the Delrin and Acetal rods, both materials are exceptionally durable and easily machinable, and they have similar physical properties. They do look the same, but for practical use there are a few differences that can make one better than the other. It also depends heavily on your application. As with any plastic materials, be sure to check the typical properties data sheet for the appropriate properties you may need for your application. Our Acetal Sheet is probably our primary material for machining,as it gives an excellent finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a very low moisture absorption making it the preferred ...
