Tight-Tolerance Highly Wear-Resistant Air-Hardening D2 Tool Steel Rods
 |
All set for turning in your lathe, these precision-ground rods are held to tight diameter and straightness tolerances. They’re also known as drill rod. The addition of nickel gives D2 tool steel better wear resistance than A2. This air-hardening material is often used for cutting blades, stamps, and forming dies.

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.
