I had no problem cutting the delrin on a band saw (metal cutting blade). Also milling it with an end mill was a breeze.

I am using 1/2 10 acme for my little project and made my own acme tap from a short piece of the acme stock. I just chucked a 6" piece up in the drill press and tapered the end with a file. I then milled the flutes with and end mill chucked in the same drill press with a cross slide vise holding the tap. It clogs fairly quickly so I back it out and clear it several times, but it makes a good tight nut! Steve
