What is PE CNC Machining?

Polyethylene (PE) covers LDPE, MDPE, HDPE, HMW-PE and UHMW-PE. It’s lightweight, tough, and highly chemical-resistant—ideal for trays, guards, wear parts, and fluid-handling components.

Tooling: Razor-sharp O-flute / polished carbide; high rake to shear clean chips.
Heat control: Air blast or light mist; avoid melting and chip-weld.
Feeds/Speeds: Higher feed, shallow step-over; steady chip load reduces fuzz.
Workholding: Vacuum/soft jaws; short stick-out for panels and thin walls.

Precision PE CNC Machining

3, 4, 5-Axis CNC Milling

High-speed pocketing/contouring for trays, covers, nests, and manifolds. Sharp cutters and air blast deliver clean, uniform textures ready for assembly.

PE CNC turning and mill-turn for caps, spacers, and bushings

CNC Turning & Mill-Turn

Smooth OD/ID finishes for fittings and spacers. Positive-rake inserts with generous chip-breaker geometry reduce fuzz and hold consistent diameters.
