0.026" Rods | McMaster-Carr

This wire bounces back after bending. Often used to construct springs and wire rope, 304 stainless steel is a good all-around choice for a wide range of applications.

PTFE-coated wire has a slippery surface, so it’s especially useful as a fish wire when navigating through confined spaces.

Hardened Undersized High-Speed M2 Tool Steel Rods

Yield Strength: Not Rated
Hardness: Rockwell C60 (Very Hard)

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

Hardened Oversized High-Speed M2 Tool Steel Rods

Yield Strength: Not Rated
Hardness: Rockwell C60 (Very Hard)

Also known as reamer blanks, these rods have an oversized diameter that allows for finishing to your exact requirements. 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.
