Delrin machines faster than aluminium if that's a concern. In fact, the more machining there is, the more it favors Delrin. We're ripping through the Delrin at pretty high feed rates presently.

The middle plates in my blocks are made from Delrin though, and I can assure you that there's more machining time in one of those than a pump.
