Does anyone know if there are any machineable plastics that come in tube form retain their transparency even after machining?
No polishing steps preferred.
Thanks in advance.

Cellulosics can be machined and solvent polished. They are not so sensitive to solvent stress cracking as most other clear plastics. They melt fairly easily and are a bit rubbery, so care needs to be taken when machining them.
