It's hot outside but it looks like winter in this mill today! We're finishing up some custom pipe protection caps made from Delrin. This material is Dupont's homopolymer acetal and is a great all-around plastic due to its strength, dimensional stability, and low coefficient of friction whichRead more →
Putting the final touches on these natural Nylon components by adding a 1/2-14 NPT thread to the back of the part. Nylon is a great material for tough applications that require compressive strength, stiffness, abrasion resistance, and slightly elevated temperatures. This incredibly strong material has a compressive
