With the highest lead content of all the brass alloys, 360 offers the best machinability. Often called free-machining and free-cutting brass, it stands up to high-speed drilling, milling, and tapping operations with minimal wear on your tools. It’s commonly used for gears, pinions, and lock components.

Ultra-Formable 260 Brass Rods

The most formable brass we offer, 260 offers better weldability than 300 series brass but it’s not as machinable. Sometimes called cartridge brass, it's commonly used for ammunition casings, radiator components, and decorative door hardware.

Ultra-Formable 260 Brass Wire

The most formable brass we offer, 260 offers better weldability than 300 series brass but it’s not as machinable. 260 brass is sometimes called cartridge brass. This wire has a soft temper and stays in place when bent.

Formable Easy-to-Machine
353 Brass Rods

353 brass is more formable than 385 brass while maintaining good machinability. Commonly called engraver’s brass, it’s well suited for fabrication processes such as knurling and threading. Use it to make nuts, gears, drawer pulls, and hinges.

Easy-to-Machine
Architectural 385 Brass Rods

Often called architectural bronze, 385 brass is easy to machine and has excellent formability when heated. It is typically used for handrails, ornamental trim, and hardware, such as hinges and lock bodies.

Marine-Grade 485 Brass

Also known as high-leaded naval brass, 485 brass contains lead for good machinability. It is commonly used for marine hardware, valve stems, and screw machine products.

High-Strength 330 Brass

Offering the highest yield strength of all our brass, 330 has a low lead content for a good balance of machinability and formability. It's used for fire station poles, pump cylinder lines, and plumbing accessories.

Corrosion-Resistant Fully
Threaded Rod End Bolts

These rod end bolts are good for wet and corrosive environments—for maximum mounting flexibility, cut the fully threaded shaft to whatever length you need.

Corrosion-Resistant Partially
Threaded Rod End Bolts

Pivot and hinge components in wet and corrosive environments with these stainless steel or brass rod end bolts.

Acme Lead Screws and Nuts

Found in hand-powered clamps, vises, grates, doors, and work tables, lead screws and nuts have broad, square threads that are well suited for quick assembly, high clamping forces, and lifting and lowering heavy objects.

Metric Acme Lead Screws and Nuts

These metric lead screws and nuts have broad, square threads that are well suited for quick assembly, high clamping forces, and lifting and lowering heavy objects. They're commonly found in hand-powered clamps, vises, grates, doors, and work tables.

Precision Acme Lead
Screws and Nuts

Also known as single-start and self-locking lead screws and nuts, these have a single thread that runs the length of the screw. The nut travels only when the screw turns, so your system won't unexpectedly move when the lead screw is at rest.
