Our price is for the total amount of pieces your entire order needs to be cut into:
For Example
- Buy 1 sheet/rod and have it cut into 15 pieces = £10
- Buy 3 sheets/rods and have each one cut into say 5 pieces (total = 15 pieces) = £10
What to do:
- Click the "Cutting" tab in our menu to visit the cutting section (if you're not already there)

- See bottom of this page, on how to advise your sizes and any notes
Want more than 300 pieces?
Please give our sales team a call on 0114 2560889
Notes/tips:
- Please allow at least 4mm in your cutting allowance calculations for the width of the saw cut
- We use table saws and horizontal band-saws, so edges will have a sawn finish
- We only use sawing equipment, so we are unable to offer high precision items
- Tolerances are +2mm to minus 0mm
- We aim to cut as squarely as possible although incoming materials are sometimes out of square
- We are unable to cut or machine shapes but we are happy to obtain a custom quotation for machined
shapes or parts (please call us on 0114 2560889)
How to advise your sizes:
- Please checkout your basket/cart
- Fill in your details as usual on the checkout page
- At section 5 of our checkout page, there's a "customer notes" box for you
- Please enter your sizes and any notes for us there
Oilon Rod Tolerances
Manufacturers produce engineering plastics that are slightly oversize in either diameter and/or thickness.
This oversize tolerance, which is listed in the tables below, is provided to assist customers to produce
very accurate items within the size shown and remove any minor surface imperfection.

Oilon Rod
Product Information
Product Full Identity:
Cast Polyamide 6
Cast Nylon 6 Oil-Filled offers self-lubricating properties for higher loads and slow moving parts. This grade also offers a lower coefficient of friction compared to all other Nylon 6 grades available.
Properties
- Better lubrication than MoS2
- Self lubricating
- High loaded and slow moving parts
- Reduced coefficient of friction up to 50%
- Better wear resistance
Applications
- Chain guides
- Bearings
- Wear pads
- Cams
- Conveyor parts
- Gears
- Can mandrel
Although Oilon has been around for quite a few years now, its full potential has not been realised, its an engineering plastic just like other Nylon Rods but in an abrasive environment it will really live up to expectations.
Components made from Oilon Rod will seem to run much more freely as the oil will reduce the friction quite substantially.
Oilon Rod comes in a similar size range to the regular cast Nylon 6 Rod range so getting the most economical size needed is very easy.
Direct Plastics has been supplying Oilon Rod for nearly twenty years and as its one of our key products, our stock of Oilon Rod is always one of the highest around.
