Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools, leading to material delamination or poor edge quality.Utilize sharp, high-speed steel or carbide cutting tools specifically designed for machining plastics like nylon.
Ignoring thermal expansion during machining, resulting in out-of-tolerance parts.Account for nylon's thermal expansion coefficient during machining by adjusting cutting speeds and feed rates, and allowing for cooling periods.

Common Applications

  • Custom Pneumatic Seals and Gaskets
  • Machined Valve Components
  • Wear Strips and Bushings in Pneumatic Cylinders

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong acids or bases, which can degrade nylon.
  • Ensure adequate ventilation during machining to dissipate dust and fumes.
