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.

Ready for turning in a lathe, these rods are precision ground and held to a strict straightness tolerance.

A lead-free alternative to 12L14, 1215 carbon steel contains the same amount of sulfur and phosphorus for excellent machinability. It is often used for shaft couplings, studs, and pins.

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.

Ready for turning in a lathe, these rods are precision ground to a tight diameter 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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Cut this stock into custom shapes to fit your application.

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.
