Tight-Tolerance Machinable 303 Stainless Steel Rods
 |
This material has tighter tolerances than standard 303 stainless steel. Rods are precision ground and held to a strict straightness tolerance, so they are ready for turning in a lathe.
Widely used for fabricating fittings and fasteners, 303 stainless steel machines quickly without sticking to cutting tools. It maintains its corrosion resistance in temperatures up to 1500° F.

Tight-Tolerance Air-Hardening A2 Tool Steel Rods
 |
Precision ground and held to a strict straightness tolerance, these rods are ready for turning in your lathe. Also known as drill rod, this A2 tool steel is more wear resistant than O1 and keeps a sharper cutting edge. It’s air-hardening, so it doesn’t require baths or quenching after heat treatment. This tool steel is often used for punches, blades, and hammers.

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.
