Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard woodworking tools without proper adjustments.Employ cutting tools with appropriate tooth geometry and feed rates for plastics to prevent melting or chipping. Ensure tools are sharp.
Overheating the material during machining.Maintain adequate cooling, either through air jets or cutting fluids, to prevent the Nylon from melting and damaging the tool or the workpiece.

Common Applications

  • Custom Machined Parts
  • Wear Strips and Bushings
  • Jigs and Fixtures
  • Protective Covers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure adequate ventilation when machining Nylon, as fine dust particles can be generated.
  • Nylon can absorb moisture, which may affect dimensional stability in humid environments. Store in a dry location.
