Reading the msds I think this is ok to use; but I have very little experience with materials data sheets. MSDS_UHMW.pdf (274.4 KB)
Anybody have any experience?
My brother wished to know, and I think he can send me a sample to play with. If that’s successful, I might become one of his contracted machine shops.
Uhmw when machining is similar to delrin but more gummy, softer and really doesnt like heat. How that translates to lasers? Not sure but perhaps delrin setting may be a decent starting point for you
I think people have posted pics, and engraving is not pretty. Cuts are so-so. I have some, might try (although I kind hoard the stuff, since it’s not easy to come by around here.)
