    Tight-Tolerance Hardened Extreme-Strength 17-4 PH Stainless Steel Rods

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Stainless Steel. Tight-Tolerance Hardened Extreme-Strength 17-4 PH Stainless Steel Rods.
    For ultimate precision, strength, and wear resistance, choose these 17-4 PH stainless steel rods. They come hardened, so they're less likely to dent and deform. Precision ground to tight diameter tolerances, they're all set to turn in your lathe.
    17-4 PH combines the strength of 400 series stainless steel with the corrosion resistance of 300 series. This makes it fit for the most demanding applications—even storing and protecting nuclear waste. You can be confident it will stay corrosion resistant in temperatures as hot as 1100° F. Also known as 630 stainless steel.

    Tight-Tolerance Air-Hardening A2 Tool Steel Rods

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Steel. 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 Extra-High-Strength 7075 Aluminum Rods

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Aluminum. Tight-Tolerance Extra-High-Strength 7075 Aluminum Rods.
    When precision and yield strength are nonnegotiable, choose these 7075 aluminum rods. They’re ground to paper-thin tolerances for parts that require pinpoint precision. Held to a strict straightness tolerance, they’re all set to turn in your lathe.
    7075 is one the strongest aluminum alloys, boasting a yield strength that rivals carbon steel rebar. Originally made for aircraft frames, it’s now turned into gears, machine keys, and other high-stress parts. It’s a good substitute for 2024 aluminum when forming and welding aren’t top concerns.
