Semi-finished Polystyrene parts can easily be machined by a variety of different methods including punching, sawing, drilling, milling, and turning by using the tools and machines customary for metalworking or woodworking. Owing to the low thermal conductivity and the low softening temperature, the cutting surfaces must be cooled by a current of air or with water. The high-impact Polystyrenes have a lower tendency to splinter and can be machined much more easily.
From fiber to film, from injection molding to thermoformed sheet polypropylene is as versatile as it is varied.

Teflon's high coefficient of expansion and stress creep properties can make it difficult to achieve tight machining tolerances.
More Info
Extra care must be taken in the colder months when plastic materials tend to lose some of their toughness and have less resistance to machining stresses.
More Info
Polyethylene material can be cut with a table saw, radial arm saw, CNC router, band saw, or panel saw.
