    High-Strength Lightweight Carbon Fiber Rods

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Carbon Fiber. High-Strength Lightweight Carbon Fiber Rods.
    Reinforce structures with these rods—they weigh less than aluminum while remaining strong and almost as rigid. Their fibers are aligned in a single direction, so they hold up to bending across the fibers but will splinter and separate like string cheese when bent along the length of the fiber. Carbon fiber is known for its use in the aerospace industry where a balance of weight and strength is vital.

    Undersized Hardened Multipurpose M2 High-Speed Tool Steel Rods

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Steel. Undersized Hardened Multipurpose M2 High-Speed Tool Steel Rods.
    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.

    Chemical-Resistant Ultra-Low-Friction PTFE Rods

    These rods and discs are made of PTFE, a material that surpasses most plastic when it comes to chemical resistance and performance in extreme temperatures. In addition to resisting most solvents, they are an excellent electrical insulator. They are easy to machine and have a naturally slippery surface that makes them a good choice for bearings, gears, and parts that slide and roll.
