Drilling Tips: How to Minimize Heat When Drilling Plastic
The thermal insulating characteristics of plastics requires one to take a few special precautions that are not as common when machining metals especially when hole depths are greater than twice the diameter. Excessive heat build-up at the drill-plastic interface is...Sawing Tips: How to Improve Product Quality When Sawing Plastics
Machinists often struggle with the first stage of the part making process, which is the saw cutting of a blank when working with engineering plastics. Although plastics are far softer than traditional metals (even the softer ones like aluminum), they can be far more...Sawing Tips: How to Improve Product Quality When Sawing Plastics

Coolants are not generally required for most machining operations involving engineering thermoplastics. The two most common exceptions are drilling and part-off operations. Both involve more tool-part friction than milling and turning operations. Some highly filled,...Tygon® Ultra Chemical Resistant Tubing
