With a thickness that's precision ground to a tight tolerance, these bars are sometimes called flat stock.

Also known as mild steel, low-carbon steel is easy to machine, form, and weld. It's widely fabricated into parts that don’t require high strength.

Made of stiff low-carbon steel to deflect less under load, these H-bars are commonly used in machine bases, construction, platforms, and frames.

Often called Stressproof, these rods are stress-relieved to minimize warping during machining.

Stronger than low-carbon steel with equally good machinability, 1045 carbon steel is widely used for bolts, studs, and shafts.

The chrome plating on these rods increases corrosion resistance.

Often called ETD-150, these rods are made from a modified version of 4140 alloy steel and have been drawn at high temperatures for excellent strength.

Also known as chrome steel, 52100 is an extremely hard and wear-resistant material. These balls are often used in bearings.

These precision-ground sheets and bars are held to a tight thickness tolerance.

These rods, also known as drill blanks, have an undersized diameter for machining your own jobbers'-length drill bits.

Polished to either a brushed or mirror-like finish, this material is often used to fabricate decorative enclosures and industrial workstations.

Widely used for fabricating fittings and fasteners, 303 stainless steel machines quickly without sticking to cutting tools.

The addition of molybdenum gives 316 stainless steel excellent corrosion resistance. Use it in a variety of marine and chemical-processing applications.

Hardened for superior wear resistance, these rods are precision ground to a tight diameter tolerance so they’re ready for turning in a lathe.

Hardened for improved strength and wear resistance, these rods are precision ground to a strict diameter tolerance. Use them for turning applications in your lathe.

Combine with a machine key to transmit torque to gears, sprockets, and other power transmission components.

A shoulder near the end of the shaft provides a stop for gears, sprockets, and bearings.

Connect these internally threaded shafts directly to threaded components, or use a fastener to secure.

Thread these shafts into a tapped hole to support idler sprockets and pulleys in tensioning applications. They have a retaining-ring groove, retaining ring, and spacers to position your component and hold it in place.

Mount these externally threaded shafts into tapped holes rather than using a shaft support, or attach a hex nut, shaft collar, or other threaded accessory.

Lighter than solid shafts, hollow shafts reduce your total system weight and allow you to run various media such as electrical wiring, compressed air tubing, coolants, or lubricants through the center.

Clip retaining rings into the grooves to separate and position collars, supports, and housings.

Precisely align, level, and adjust spacing on fasteners and shafts with these shims.

Cut this stock to length to create the machine key you need. Straight keys, with a square or rectangular cross section, are the most common type of key. Install in a keyway to transmit torque from shafts to gears and other components.

These springs are more corrosion resistant than standard compression springs.

Use these steel springs in noncorrosive environments.

A black-oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance.

A black-oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance.

Even under extreme drilling pressure, these metric bushings won't press through your jig plate. A flanged head on the top of the bushing acts as a stop, preventing it from moving as you push down your drill bit, reamer, or other cutting bit.
