Hardened for improved strength and wear resistance, these rods are precision ground to a strict diameter tolerance. Use them for turning applications in your lathe.

This material is hardened for improved strength and wear resistance.

One of the most machinable types of stainless steel available, 416 contains sulfur for fast machining without clogging cutting tools. It's used for gears, screws, and shafts.

One of the hardest types of stainless steel after heat treating, 440C offers excellent wear and abrasion resistance. It's often used for bearings, valves, and knife blades.

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

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

Often called Stressproof, these rods are stress-relieved to minimize warping during machining.

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.

Stronger than low-carbon steel with equally good machinability, 1045 carbon steel is widely used for bolts, studs, and shafts.

These rods are hardened for increased abrasion and impact resistance. Also known as chrome-moly steel, 4140 alloy steel resists fracturing from repeated stress.

4130 alloy steel has a low carbon content that provides good weldability. It's often used for gears, fasteners, and structural applications.

Use for power transmission and structural applications that involve extreme impact, heat, and wear.

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

These rods and discs are precision ground to offer tighter tolerances than standard 6061 rods and discs.

While 2024 aluminum was initially designed for structural components in aircraft, it's now widely used when a high strength-to-weight ratio is needed, such as for gears, shafts, and fasteners. It offers similar performance to 7075 aluminum, but it’s not as strong.

Also known as high-leaded naval brass, 485 brass contains lead for good machinability. It is commonly used for marine hardware, valve stems, and screw machine products.

With 99.99% copper content, 101 copper has higher purity than 110 copper, resulting in superior electrical conductivity. It's commonly called OFE and OFHC copper. Use it in electrical applications, such as for coaxial cables and terminal lugs.

Rated RWMA Class 4, 172 beryllium copper is the strongest beryllium copper alloy that is also electrically conductive and extremely wear resistant. It’s often used in inserts, die facings, and molds for plastic that need to withstand stress over repeated use.

These rods are precision ground for a tight diameter tolerance of ±0.0005".

An excellent alternative to oil-filled bronze, graphite-filled bronze provides dry lubrication in temperatures as high as 700° F.

An easier-to-machine alternative to 932 bronze, 936 also has better corrosion resistance. It's also called modified SAE 64.

The addition of PTFE provides a more slippery, wear-resistant surface than standard Delrin® acetal resin. It’s commonly fabricated into pump components, gears, and bearings.

This nylon 6/6 material is modified with MDS for a self-lubricating surface that’s more slippery than standard nylon. It's often used in high-friction applications, such as gears and bearings.

Often used in high-speed, high-precision, and high-impact applications, such as conveyor rollers and bearings, these rods stand up to scratches and scuffs better than our standard UHMW polyethylene rods. Also known as Tivar HPV.

Because PVC resists many acids and alkalies, it’s widely used for tanks and in chemical-processing applications. Also known as PVC Type 1.

Offering greater impact resistance than standard PVC Type 1 with similar chemical resistance, this PVC Type 2 is widely used for parts that are subject to shock.

Also called reprocessed and mechanical-grade PTFE, this material is an economical alternative to standard PTFE.

At only half the weight of glass, polycarbonate maintains excellent impact resistance across a wide temperature range. It's comparable to Lexan, Hyzod, Tuffak, and Makrolon.

Eight times straighter than standard rotary shafts, these tight-tolerance shafts minimize vibrations and reduce wear to bearings and other components. They also have diameter tolerances that are twice as tight as standard rotary shafts.

These shafts have keyways only on the ends, leaving a plain shaft in the center. Use the keyways with machine keys to transmit torque to gears, sprockets, and other keyed components. Use the middle of the shaft with bearings and other round-bore components.

Using nothing more than standard high-speed steel tooling, Garolite LE can be machined into intricate parts.

Stronger than Garolite CE with better electrical-insulating properties, Garolite XX is often fabricated into low-cost electrical components.

Multiple thread channels (also known as thread starts) create faster linear travel than lead screws with a single thread start.
