I was wondering if it was common to use powered metalworking tools on

I assume that as long as melting your way through the stock is not an
issue then it is ok.

But is it plausible to expect decent accuracy/tolerances this way?

Thanks.

All depends on the actual plastic you're dealing with. Some can be
worked like metal, some are gummy and soft and hard to handle while
others are brittle and any odd stresses cause them to shatter.
