Default Using Metalworking Tools on Plastic

I was wondering if it was common to use powered metalworking tools on
plastic.(Nylon, Delrin, ABS, UHMW, PVC, etc.).

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.
