These rods are precision ground and held to a strict straightness tolerance, so they're ready for turning in a lathe.

The matte plating on these rods increases corrosion resistance and wear resistance.

This steel is nitrided, which involves the absorption of nitrogen, providing a corrosion-resistant surface that won’t flake or chip. It is comparable to NitroSteel.

The lead additive acts as a lubricant, which allows 12L14 carbon steel to withstand very fast machining. It's used to fabricate a wide variety of machine parts.

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.

These rods are precision ground and held to a strict straightness tolerance, so they're all set for turning applications in your lathe.

With more carbon and manganese than other easy-to-machine carbon steel, 1144 carbon steel has higher yield strength and hardness. Also known as Stressproof, these hex bars are stress-relieved to minimize warping during machining.
