What is Nylon CNC Machining?

Nylon (PA) includes PA6/6, PA6, PA12 and reinforced grades. It’s tough, low-friction, and wear-resistant—great for bushings, gears, pulleys, guides, and structural fixtures.

Tooling: Sharp O-flute/polished carbide; positive rake to shear cleanly.
Heat control: Air blast or light mist to avoid melting and chip-weld.
Feeds/Speeds: Higher feed, modest step-over; steady chip load prevents fuzz.
Moisture: Nylon absorbs water—size and flatness can drift; condition stock when critical.

Precision Nylon CNC Machining

3, 4, 5-Axis CNC Milling

Fast pocketing and contouring for guides, cams, and housings. Balanced holders, sharp tools, and air blast produce uniform textures ready for assembly.

Nylon CNC turning and mill-turn for bushings, pulleys, rollers

CNC Turning & Mill-Turn

Smooth OD/ID finishes for bushings and rollers. Sharp inserts with generous chip-breaker geometry reduce fuzz and hold consistent diameters.
