Product Description

This section covers the most common methods of machining plastic engineering components, providing guidelines and tips to achieve the best results with each.

Proper machining is crucial to achieving part dimensions and performance. Improper machining can create stress within the finished part, negatively impacting its mechanical properties and risking premature part failure.

Common causes of machined-in stress include:

• Using dull or improperly designed tooling

Excessive heat generated from inappropriate speeds and feed rates

• Machining away large volumes of material, usually from one side of the stock shape

Threading and tapping

What is threading? What is tapping?

Tapping and threading are two machining methods used to produce screw threads. Threading is the process of using a die tool to carve external threads, where tapping is the process of using a tap tool to create threads on the inside of a drilled hole.

Threading and tapping with plastic vs. metal

A primary consideration when threading and tapping plastic is that plastics are more notch-sensitive than metals. Some polymer materials may tear during threading, especially in fine pitch procedures.

Threading tips for plastic

Threading plastic should be done by single point using a carbide insert, taking four to five 0.001” passes at the end. Coolant usage is suggested.

Tapping tips for plastic

When tapping plastic, use the specified drill with a two-flute tap.

Keep the tap clean of chip build-up.

Use of a coolant during tapping is also suggested.
