Is UHMW any good?

I am now ready to built my primary using copper tubing (my tubing will be 
standard 1/4" with 1/4" spacing and I need about 18 turns)

I saw some UHMW on Ebay cheap which I am thinking would make a good 
standoff/holder for the copper pipe. The only thing is I never heard of 
UHMW. I assume it is a good insulator but how easy is it to work with? And 
how do you guys get such nice cutouts in your standoffs?  Is it easy to cut 
and drill, do I need special tools?
