Mechanical processing

Mechanical processing of Thermoplastic materials is difficult and requires special techniques compared to other materials.

They are different from metals

They are different from metals, they are slippery, soft and flexible. Nevertheless, they can be machined in all universal metal and wood workshops. These must be quickly turning and welt deanable.Chip removal must be provided carefulty. Tools which are flawless and well-honed must be used at all times.

Quality

The quality of the finished surface depends on the quality, speed of the cutting tool and the diffusion of heat.

Low heat conductors

Another point to keep in mind is that all plastics are low heat conductors. The heat which occurs during mechanical processing must substandally be lowered.
