What is Plastic Machining?
Plastic machining is a subtractive method of shaping and forming products by removing layers of material. This process is crucial for creating precision machined plastic parts, with the three most common techniques being turning, milling, and drilling.
Turning: In this technique, the material is rotated by a chuck while a tool is fed through the workpiece to remove material until the desired shape is achieved. Turning is typically performed using lathes, ensuring precise shaping.
Drilling: Here, the material is fixed to a table while a drill tool is rotated into the workpiece to create bores. Drilling is a straightforward process that can be done on both lathes and mills, making it versatile for various applications.
Milling: This technique involves fixing the material to a sliding table while a spindle equipped with cutting tools is raised and lowered to machine complex forms. Milling is performed using milling machines or machining centers, allowing for the creation of intricate and precise machined plastic parts.

Experts in Machining Difficult Materials
With Jaco Products, our experts have the ability to machine materials that most shops won’t touch. Reach out to us for a quote on any plastic materials you need machined.
Machining Delrin
Delrin plastic has a wide variety of uses, from gears to conveyor system parts. Delrin is a durable plastic that is resistant to moisture and chemicals. But Delrin doesn’t respond well to adhesives, which make bonding difficult. Delrin is a flammable plastic that can become deformed during machining if the heat is too high.
Machining Delrin, a thermoplastic, is different from machining thermoset plastics. Thermoplastics melt when heat is applied and thermosets remain set once they are formed. These specific intricacies must be understood to machine Delrin parts. Jaco Products has the knowledge and expertise to machine Delrin into the product you need.
Ultem Machining
Ultem plastic is a semi-transparent, high-strength plastic that can operate in high temperature environments. Some other advantages of Ultem are that it is conductive and food contact acceptable. Ultem processing costs are high, there are limited color options, and it requires high processing temperatures.
Peek Machining
PEEK plastic, or polyetheretherketone, is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic. It has low moisture intake, strength across various temperatures, and high chemical resistance. PEEK is expensive and not very resistant to UV light.
Nylon Machining
Jaco’s vast experience in nylon machining creates the ability to offer competitive pricing for CNC machined nylon parts. Jaco has the best plastic machining processes to speed up the traditional setup of machining plastic. Jaco’s methods decrease the number of setups by a significant amount.
Nylon machining brings a wide range of benefits and is lightweight, wear and vibration-resistant, and has a high tensile strength. If you are replacing an older product or creating a product from scratch, our nylon machining will bring you the most durable product possible and stay within your budget.
