Hardened Undersized High-Speed M2 Tool Steel Rods

- Yield Strength: See table
- Hardness: Rockwell C60 (Very Hard)
These rods, also known as drill blanks, have an undersized diameter for machining your own drill bits. They're 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.
Dia. | Dia. Tolerance | Drill Bit Size | Lg. | Yield Strength | Mechanical Finish | Straightness Tolerance | Each | |
3.5mm | -0.0050mm to 0.0000mm | 3.5 mm | 2 7/8" | Not Rated | Precision Ground | 0.012" per ft. | 00000000 | 00000 |
Ultra-Formable 260 Brass Rods

- Yield Strength:
Inch sizes: Not Rated
Metric sizes: 9,000 psi - Hardness: Not Rated
- Temper: H01 (1/4 Hard)
- Heat Treatable: No
- Specifications Met: ASTM B134
The most formable brass we offer, 260 offers better weldability than 300 series brass but it’s not as machinable. Sometimes called cartridge brass, it's commonly used for ammunition casings, radiator components, and decorative door hardware.

Ultra-High-Temperature Quartz Glass Rods and Discs

- Color: Clear
- Max. Temperature: 2100° F
- Fabrication: Annealed
Able to withstand temperatures up to 2100° F, this quartz glass is useful in high-temperature applications that also require optical clarity, such as high-intensity lighting, fiber-optic production, and optical lens systems. It provides excellent UV transmission, as well as high transmission in the visible and infrared ranges.
