    SoCal Machine Shop with Plastics on Hand

    Anyone work with Delrin / Nylon / UHMW PE ??? Looking for places in SGV. Obviously, there are quite a few around me, but if anyone has prior experience with one in particular, that'd be great.

    I'm trying to make a sight pusher punch / insert, and coins (literally plastic coins the size of quarters, dimes, and nickels) to screw on caps.

    I have sight pushers, and I have Nylon punches, but it would be rather tedious to grind them to spec with the tools I have on hand. And, from what I've researched, the polymers machine with relative ease, especially on cutters that deal with aluminum or HSS.

    Anyone that machines steel or aluminum can machine the plastics you mentioned. Coins can be punched out of sheet. Sight pusher (I assume it's a small rod?) can be cut from, well, rod. Don't know about screw caps, that'll take a bit of lathe work, I think.
