Homopolymer Acetal or Delrin is the perfect plastic for turning on a machine lathe. It is very easy to turn, but it does require slower speeds. I use this material to make Scottish small pipes chanters. I have purchased numerous items from iPlastic . Small parts always ship promptly and everything is always well packed. I have never had an issue with an order. Between the Delrin and POM-C rods, both materials are incredibly durable and easily machinable, as they have similar physical properties. They do appear similar, 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, make sure to check the typical properties data sheet for the applicable properties you may need for your application. Our Acetal Sheet is probably our best material for machining,giving an excellent finish both on manual and CNC Machines. Its got a very low moisture absorption making it the ideal grade for food...
