A good choice for making sprockets and pulleys, these cast nylon 6 tubes withstand higher temperatures and are easier to machine than standard nylon 6/6 tubes.

Also known as nylon 6/6, this general purpose material is often used for bearings, gears, valve seats, and other high-wear parts.

Delrin® acetal resin, also known as acetal homopolymer, is stronger and stiffer than acetal copolymer.

Because this polypropylene resists swelling when exposed to water, it’s often fabricated into containers and parts for laboratory equipment.

Known for its naturally slippery surface, PTFE surpasses most plastics when it comes to chemical resistance and performance in extreme temperatures.

Cast acrylic is easier to machine than extruded acrylic. It's comparable to Lucite and Plexiglas® Acrylic.

At only half the weight of glass, polycarbonate maintains excellent impact resistance across a wide temperature range. It's comparable to Lexan, Hyzod, Tuffak, and Makrolon.

Use these diamond-coated hollow bits for wet drilling of masonry, concrete, and rebar with a drilling rig.

These hollow bits cut with their outside edge for drilling holes larger than 1 1/2" in diameter.

These hollow bits cut with their outside edge for drilling holes larger than 1 1/2" in diameter.

Often used in place of aluminum for structural frames, machinery components, and robotics, these tubes are lighter in weight and almost as rigid.

Mount these lightweight tubes to flat surfaces in place of aluminum to create structural frames, machinery components, and robotics.

Stronger than Garolite CE with better electrical-insulating properties, Garolite XX is often fabricated into low-cost electrical components.

Used in turbine bearings, downpipe gaskets, and other machinery, these Garolite tubes withstand heavy impacts and temperatures as high as 500° F.

These rectangular tubes are flame retardant, machinable, and electrically insulating.

A flame-retardant version of Garolite G-11, these tubes are commonly used to make bushings, standoffs, and spacers for areas with high temperatures. All are stronger and resist heat better than Garolite G-10/FR4.
