    M2 High-Speed Tool Steel Rod Sets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Steel. M2 High-Speed Tool Steel Rod Sets.
    Supplied in a metal index case with fold-out panels, these rods, also known as drill blanks, have an undersized diameter for machining your own jobbers'-length drill bits. They are hardened for increased abrasion and impact resistance. M2 tool steel offers a nice balance of wear resistance and machinability. It has a high molybdenum content, which allows it to maintain sharp cutting edges even at elevated temperatures.
