Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the best cutting speed for PTFE machining?
PTFE has a low melting point, so slow to moderate PTFE cutting speeds are recommended to prevent material deformation and maintain part integrity.
Q: How accurate are the tolerances for PTFE CNC machining?
We can hold PTFE tolerances as tight as ±0.001”, depending on geometry and thermal considerations.
Q: How does PTFE compare to PEEK in machining?
PTFE vs PEEK machining comes down to application: PTFE is softer, easier to machine, and better for low-friction needs, while PEEK handles higher loads and heat.
Q: Can you achieve a smooth surface finish on PTFE?
Yes! Our machines deliver exceptional PTFE surface finish, CNC quality through optimized speeds, sharp tooling, and proper coolant usage.
