0.036" Shafts | McMaster-Carr

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.

Bend-and-Stay Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel Wire

Bend this wire and it will stay in place. It's widely used as tying and locking wire. Made of 316/316L stainless steel, it has less carbon than standard 316 for better weldability. The addition of molybdenum gives this material excellent corrosion resistance. Use it in a variety of marine and chemical-processing applications.
