Can anyone confirm that wood tools can be used on Delrin?
I am working on a project that uses both and wanted to be sure.
If so, can I gte recommendation on what kind of tool/bit I'd need to
make slots?
I'll need to drill the initial (3/8")holes, and then elongate them as
much as an inch(in both the wood and Delrin).
Thanks a lot.

I have a router + table, and stillneed to figure out the best way to do
this.
Can anyone tell me the best kind of bits for this project?
Thanks.
Darren

delrin cuts well, but it can bite into the material and send it flying.

woodworking tools can be used for delrin. it has some weird
properties, though. it wants to slip out of clamps, and a slot milled
in it will not be the size of the cutter.

router bits will cut it fine.

do the drill and elongation as a single plunge router operation.
