Whatever your component geometry, we can work with you to design and manufacture a Vespel\u00ae CR-6100 part to suit your application needs. The <a href=\"\/dupont-vespel\/material-information\">specifications for machining Vespel<\/a> include the following parameters:\n<ul>\n \t<li>Use carbide tipped tools with a 5\u00b0 to 15\u00b0 rake angle at the front face and a positive (0 to 5\u00b0) back rake angle.<\/li>\n \t<li>For longer production runs, diamond tipped tools or inserts provide increased tool life.<\/li>\n \t<li>Use feeds and speeds appropriate for turning aluminum.<\/li>\n \t<li>Coolant is not normally required for turning, unless there is a need to maximize dimensional stability.<\/li>\n \t<li>Turned diameter surface finishes of 63 micro-inches (1.6 micro-meters) are typical using a visual surface finish reference guide.<\/li>\n \t<li>Bushing grooves, axial and spiral type, can be generated using standard carbide tipped broaching tools or end mills.<\/li>\n \t<li>As in machining all fluorocarbon materials, part temperature should be maintained below 572\u00b0F (300\u00b0C) to avoid the possible liberation of a fine particulate fume.
