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

An oversized diameter allows for finishing to your exact requirements.

These rod sets are supplied in a metal index case with fold-out panels.

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

Also known as cobalt steel, this M42 tool steel maintains its hardness in high-speed cutting applications that generate intense heat. Use it to make tools for cutting extremely hard materials.

Made with lower amounts of alloy elements than other tool steels, these W1 rods are highly machinable. Also called drill rods, they are precision ground and held to strict diameter and straightness tolerances.

Hardened for increased abrasion and impact resistance, these rods are precision ground with a tight diameter tolerance.

Hardened to resist impact and abrasion, P20 tool steel is also strong and easy to machine because of its low carbon content.

Three times more wear resistant than your standard D2 tool steel. Also known as PSB27 steel, this tool steel is spray-formed for enhanced toughness that makes it ideal for stamps, cutting blades, and forming dies.

Resistant to wear, abrasion, and chipping, A11 is a hard material that is often made into punches and stamping tools.

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.

Also known as chrome-moly steel, this versatile alloy steel is used for a wide range of parts, such as gears, axles, shafts, collets, and die holders. It resists fracturing from repeated stress.

Made with vanadium, this alloy steel retains its strength at temperatures up to 1100° F.

Often called ETD-150, this modified alloy steel is drawn at high temperatures for excellent strength and machinability.

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

Made of a chromium-nickel-molybdenum alloy and strengthened with vanadium, this steel is the strongest alloy we offer.

Higher levels of carbon and chromium make this 4150 alloy steel more wear-resistant than 4820 alloy steel. Also known as chrome-moly steel, it’s often used for gears, shafts, and ball screws.

Often used for gears, bushings, and pins, this 4820 alloy steel resists wear from friction and abrasion.

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.

Made from 4130 alloy steel, also known as chrome-moly steel, these rods have low carbon content for good weldability. They’re often used to make gears and bushings.

Made with more carbon and manganese than other easy-to-machine carbon steels, 1144 carbon steel has a higher yield strength and hardness. Also known as Stressproof, these rods are stress-relieved to minimize warping during machining.

Also known as Fatigueproof, these rods have enhanced strength and resistance to breaking from repeated impact compared to High-Strength Easy-to-Machine 1144 Carbon Steel Rods.

Precision ground and held to a strict tightness tolerance, these rods are ready for turning in a lathe.

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

Also known as mild steel, low-carbon steel is easy to machine, form, and weld. It's widely fabricated into low-strength fasteners, pins, and axles.

These rods are zinc galvanized for good corrosion resistance.

Choose 1141 carbon steel for its balance of strength and machinability. Often compared to low-carbon steel, 1141 is higher strength. It’s not as machinable as similar alloys, like 1144, due to its low sulfur content.

Containing more pearlite and less ferrite, these cast iron rods are stronger and harder than standard ductile cast iron.

With a high amount of ferrite, these cast iron rods are easier to machine without cracking than other impact-resistant ductile cast iron rods. Use them to create bushings, gears, pulleys, and pistons.
