From cookware to chemical-processing equipment, 304 stainless steel is a good all-around choice for a wide range of applications.

The addition of molybdenum gives 316 stainless steel excellent corrosion resistance. Use it in a variety of marine and chemical-processing applications.

Also known as mild steel, low-carbon steel is easy to machine, form, and weld. It's widely fabricated into parts that don’t require high strength.

These rods are zinc galvanized for good corrosion resistance.

Ready for turning in a lathe, these rods are precision ground and held to a strict straightness tolerance.

The lead additive acts as a lubricant, which allows 12L14 carbon steel to withstand very fast machining. It's used to fabricate a wide variety of machine parts.

These rods are precision ground and held to a strict straightness tolerance, so they're all set for turning applications in your lathe.

A lead-free alternative to 12L14, 1215 carbon steel contains the same amount of sulfur and phosphorus for excellent machinability. It is often used for shaft couplings, studs, and pins.

A modified version of 4340 alloy steel, 300M is used in applications that require high yield strength, such as torsion bars and drive shafts.

Easier to machine than 52100 alloy steel rods, these extremely hard and wear-resistant tubes are often used to create bearings, bushings, and other cylindrical parts that are under constant stress. They’re also known as chrome steel.

The addition of lead gives 41L40 the best machinability of all the alloy steel we offer.

Offering excellent resistance to cracking from impact and compression, C300 alloy steel is often used for dies and tooling. It is also known as maraging steel and VascoMax.

The most widely used aluminum, 6061 is fabricated into everything from pipe fittings and containers to automotive and aerospace parts. It is strong and corrosion resistant, plus it's easy to machine and weld.

These rods, also known as drill blanks, have an undersized diameter for machining your own jobbers'-length drill bits.

Also known as reamer blanks, these rods are hardened for increased abrasion and impact resistance.

An oversized diameter allows for finishing to your exact requirements.

Made from powdered metal, M4 tool steel has a consistent microstructure that gives it outstanding resistance to wear and abrasion. It is comparable to CPM Rex M4.

An oversized diameter allows for finishing to your exact requirements.

Ready for turning in a lathe, these rods are precision ground to a tight diameter tolerance.

Hardened for increased abrasion and impact resistance, these precision-ground rods have a tight diameter tolerance and are ready for turning in your lathe.

All set for turning in your lathe, these precision-ground rods are held to a strict straightness tolerance.

The diameter on these rods is precision ground while the straightness is held to a strict tolerance, so they're ready for turning in a lathe.

An oversized diameter on these rods allows for finishing to your exact requirements.

With the highest lead content of all the brass alloys, 360 offers the best machinability. Often called free-machining and free-cutting brass, it stands up to high-speed drilling, milling, and tapping operations with minimal wear on your tools. It’s commonly used for gears, pinions, and lock components.

Also known as nylon 6/6, this general purpose material is often used for bearings, gears, valve seats, and other high-wear parts.

Combine these general purpose shafts with a linear bearing and shaft support to create a basic linear motion system.

Internal threads allow you to mount these shafts onto threaded studs and fasteners, no shaft supports needed.
