MATERIAL · ENGINEERING PLASTIC TURNING

Plastic on the lathe.

PEEK for high-performance. Delrin for bushings and wear. UHMW for food-contact and abrasion. We turn plastics on the same lathes — just with different geometry and feeds.

01 / Alloys we cut

Stocked & dialed-in.

PEEK

High-temp, high-performance. Aerospace, medical, semiconductor.

Delrin (acetal)

Bushings, gears, wear parts. Self-lubricating.

UHMW

Abrasion resistance. Food-grade. Liners, slides, wear strips.

Nylon 6/6

Bushings, rollers, low-cost wear parts.

02 / Notes from the floor
