    Tight-Tolerance Ultra-Heat-Resistant M42 High-Speed Tool Steel Rods

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Steel. Tight-Tolerance Ultra-Heat-Resistant M42 High-Speed Tool Steel Rods.
    Machine saw blades, end mills, and other cutting tools that stay hard and sharp at top speeds and temperatures. M42 runs faster and hotter than other grades of high-speed tool steel, so it slices through material as tough as titanium without softening or wearing down. Precision ground and held to a strict tightness tolerance, this steel is all set to turn in your lathe. Also known as cobalt steel.

    Ultra-Formable 260 Brass Rods

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Brass. Ultra-Formable 260 Brass Rods.
    The most formable brass alloy we offer. With its high copper content and little to no lead, 260 is so soft you can bend it at room temperature. It's often shaped into ammunition casings, radiator components, and decorative door hardware. Also known as cartridge brass.

    Rotary Shafts

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Rotary Shafts.
    Pair with gears, sprockets, and bearings to transmit rotary motion. Turned, ground, and polished to tight tolerances, these shafts reduce vibration, evenly distribute loads, and improve accuracy.
    Carbon Steel—Strong and easy to machine. These shafts work best in dry environments since moisture will cause steel to rust.
    Highly Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel—More corrosion resistant than 303 and 304 stainless steel shafts. They stand up to salt water and harsh chemicals, such as bleach, chlorine, and phosphoric acid.

    Dowel Pins

    Precisely align machine parts and prevent movement during assembly. These dowel pins are machined to tight tolerances and have a uniform diameter for a snug fit. They can also be used as a pivot, shaft, or hinge to join moving components. Since dowel pins can be hard to remove, they are best suited for permanent fixtures that don't require frequent adjustments or disassembly.

    High-Strength Alloy Steel—Our strongest, most wear-resistant pins, these won't bend or break from vibration. Use them for high-stress applications, such as mounting and aligning hydraulic cylinders and injection molds. They perform best in dry environments since moisture will cause them to rust.

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Dowel Pins. Plain Head, Standard Tolerance.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments. In addition to resisting rust, these pins also withstand mild chemicals such as cleaners and degreasers. They are strong enough to join most components but won't withstand extreme stress and vibration as well as steel.
    Highly Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel—Our most corrosion-resistant pins, these hold up in just about any environment. They won't degrade from exposure to weather, salt water, and most chemicals. Like 18-8 stainless steel, they're strong enough to join most components but won't withstand stress and vibration as well as steel.
    High-Strength Machinable 416 Stainless Steel—These pins hold their shape under stress and friction from moving parts. In addition to being the strongest stainless steel alloy, 416 is also the most machinable, so you can shape these pins to fit your hole. However, they are the least corrosion-resistant stainless steel option.
    Material Certificate—Pins include a report with a traceable lot number and a description of their chemical, physical, and mechanical properties.

    Brazing Alloys for Tight Gaps

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Brazing Alloys. Brazing Alloys for Tight Gaps.
    When melted, these alloys form a thin liquid that easily flows into smaller gaps than standard brazing alloys. They don’t contain cadmium, so they’re safer than other brazing alloys with cadmium and help you meet industry regulations.
    BAg-34—BAg-34 alloys flow and spread easier than BAg-36 alloys. They’re often used in the air conditioning and refrigeration industry.
    BAg-36—BAg-36 alloys are often used in the piping and automotive industry.
