Hardened Undersized High-Speed M2 Tool Steel Rods

- Yield Strength: See table
- Hardness: Rockwell C60 (Very Hard)
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.

Ultra-Formable 260 Brass Rods

- Yield Strength:
Inch sizes: Not Rated
Metric sizes: 9,000 psi - Hardness: Not Rated
- Temper: H01 (1/4 Hard)
- Heat Treatable: No
- Specifications Met: ASTM B134
The most formable brass we offer, 260 offers better weldability than 300 series brass but it’s not as machinable. Sometimes called cartridge brass, it's commonly used for ammunition casings, radiator components, and decorative door hardware.
