What is Plastic Machining?

At Jaco Products, a leading provider of custom plastic machining solutions, we specialize in precision subtractive manufacturing to produce high-quality plastic components tailored to your exact specifications. Our advanced plastic machining capabilities include CNC turning, milling, and drilling—ensuring superior accuracy, durability, and performance for even the most complex designs.

This process involves rotating the material using a chuck while a cutting tool shapes the workpiece to achieve the desired form. Precision lathes make turning ideal for crafting accurately shaped parts.

In this method, the material is secured to a table, and a drill tool creates precise bores. Drilling offers versatility and can be performed on both lathes and mills, making it suitable for various applications.

A staple of any plastics machining company, milling fixes the material to a sliding table while cutting tools on a spindle shape complex forms. This technique is essential for producing intricate and high-precision 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.

Computerized Numerical Control (CNC) machining is a precise and efficient automated plastic fabrication method. This process allows for high-volume production of complex plastic parts with incredible ease. Here at Jaco, we combine our expertise with thermoplastics and thermoset materials with state-of-the-art CNC machinery. We can perform a full range of processes including routing, milling, turning, and 5-axis machining with high-precision tolerances of .0001″.

We are always looking for ways to improve our plastic fabrication equipment and technology. As a result, we are always equipped to meet even the highest tolerance requirements while offering a quick turnaround for projects of any volume.

Plastic injection molding is another common technique for creating plastic components. The injection molding process consists of reshaping melted plastic materials by forcing them into a cavity and applying pressure. The mold cavity shapes the plastic into the desired configuration, and once the plastic cools we can remove the finished part.

Plastic stamping and die-cutting are exceptionally efficient machining methods. In fact, these processes can minimize overall material costs while increasing production rates and improving dimensional uniformity. Many electrical insulation companies depend on Jaco for our stamping and die-cutting services to produce reliable products.

Mold and platen insulation is another specialty of Jaco Products. These insulation products can control how heat transfers to production presses, so they can minimize energy usage and enhance your processing variables.

Plastic Machining FAQs

Plastic machining refers to the process of cutting, shaping, or forming plastic materials into desired shapes, dimensions, and configurations using various machining techniques and tools. This process is used to create precision plastic parts and components for a wide range of industries and applications. Plastic machining techniques can include cutting, drilling, milling, turning, and more.

Yes, plastic can be CNC machined. CNC machining is a highly versatile manufacturing process that can be used to shape and cut a wide range of materials, including plastic.

Choose the appropriate plastic material based on the specific requirements of your project. Consider factors such as the type of plastic, its properties (e.g., hardness, temperature resistance), and the final application. Select the right cutting tools and tool materials suitable for the chosen plastic material. Carbide or high-speed steel (HSS) tools are commonly used for machining plastics. The choice of tools may depend on factors such as the plastic’s hardness, your desired surface finish, and the machining process.

Secure the plastic workpiece in place. Depending on the size and shape of the material, you can use various workholding methods, such as clamps, vises, fixtures, or vacuum chucks, to ensure stability during machining. Adjust the cutting speed and feed rate based on the plastic material you’re machining. Plastic materials have lower melting points than metals, so it’s essential to use lower cutting speeds to prevent excessive heat buildup and melting. Refer to manufacturer recommendations and machining handbooks for specific settings.

Unlike metals, plastic machining often requires minimal or no coolant. Excessive coolant can sometimes cause the plastic to melt or become gummy. However, effective chip control is crucial to prevent chips from interfering with the machining process. Execute the machining process, which may involve operations such as milling, turning, drilling, or routing, depending on your project’s needs.

Periodically check the workpiece for dimensional accuracy and surface finish. Make any necessary adjustments during the machining process to ensure the final part meets your specifications. After machining, remove any burrs, sharp edges, or unwanted material. Deburring can be done using hand tools or deburring machines. If a specific surface finish is required, use appropriate techniques such as polishing, sanding, or flame polishing to achieve the desired texture and appearance.

Delrin is a high-strength, machinable thermoplastic known for its excellent mechanical properties. It has high tensile strength, good stiffness, and is often used for parts requiring durability and wear resistance, such as gears, bushings, and mechanical components.
