It is fairly miserable to CNC, as well. A bit eating monstrosity it is... with a very narrow range of functional feed and rpm ranges. Delrin is similarly miserable to CNC.
One of the worst combinations, it is: Your sharpest finest bits, with the highest level of bit wear, in the most difficult to achieve ’quality result’ cutting set up. Instantaneous flow of the moment.. feed rate and rpm, stepover, etc, all become critical in the given moment --and the range is small. So you have to change everything in the cutting program to reflect this. Mastering a quality CNC’d shape in panzerholz is an achievement.
