Precision ground and held to a strict straightness tolerance, these rods are ready for turning in your lathe. They’re also known as drill rod. A2 tool steel is more wear resistant than O1 and it keeps a sharper cutting edge. This air-hardening material is widely used for punches, broaches, and dies.

An oversized diameter allows for finishing to your exact requirements. A2 tool steel is more wear resistant than O1 and it keeps a sharper cutting edge. This air-hardening material is widely used for punches, broaches, and dies. These rods and discs are decarb-free for a uniform surface that will consistently accept heat treating.
If you don't see the size you're looking for, please specify a length under additional rod lengths.

- Yield Strength: Not Rated
- Hardness: Rockwell C60 (Very Hard)
Hardened for increased abrasion and impact resistance, these rods are precision ground with a tight diameter tolerance. Also known as drill rod, they're all set for turning applications in your lathe. A2 tool steel is more wear resistant than O1 and it keeps a sharper cutting edge. This air-hardening material is widely used for punches, broaches, and dies.
