All set for turning in your lathe, these precision-ground rods are held to tight diameter and straightness tolerances. They’re also known as drill rod. The addition of nickel gives D2 tool steel better wear resistance than A2. This air-hardening material is often used for cutting blades, stamps, and forming dies.

The thickness on these bars is precision ground to a tight tolerance. They are also known as flat stock. The addition of nickel gives D2 tool steel better wear resistance than A2. This air-hardening material is often used for cutting blades, stamps, and forming dies.

Made of 8620 alloy steel, these rods have low levels of carbon that make them easy to weld. Nickel, chromium, and molybdenum give them wear resistance. For even greater wear resistance, harden their surface with heat treating. These rods are often used to make high-strength gears, bushings, and shafts.

Three times more wear resistant than your standard D2 tool steel. Also known as PSB27 steel, this tool steel is spray-formed for enhanced toughness that makes it ideal for stamps, cutting blades, and forming dies. It also resists chipping and is less hard than A11 tool steel, so it’s more machinable. No baths or quenching are required after heat treating—it hardens in air.

When an off-the-shelf size won't do, we'll get you the exact dimensions you need.

The addition of nickel gives D2 tool steel better wear resistance than A2. This air-hardening material is often used for cutting blades, stamps, and forming dies. The thickness, length, and width are oversized for finishing to your exact requirements. These bars are also known as flat stock.
