Multipurpose 304 Stainless Steel
From cookware to chemical-processing equipment, 304 stainless steel is a good all-around choice for a wide range of applications. It maintains its corrosion resistance in temperatures up to 1500° F.
If you don't see the rod size you're looking for, please specify a length under additional 304/304L stainless steel rod lengths.

Tight-Tolerance Multipurpose Air-Hardening A2 Tool Steel Rods
Precision ground and held to a strict straightness tolerance, these rods are ready for turning in your lathe. They’re also known as drill rod. A2 tool steel is more wear resistant than O1 and it keeps a sharper cutting edge. This air-hardening material is widely used for punches, broaches, and dies.

Keyed Rotary Shafts
Combine these shafts with a machine key (not included) to transmit torque to gears, sprockets, and other power transmission components. All have an ANSI standard keyway (keys not included; see our selection of key stock). Their edges are chamfered to remove sharp corners, reducing damage to bearings, housings, and other components during installation. All are turned, ground, or polished to tight diameter and straightness tolerances.
Steel shafts are generally stronger than aluminum and stainless steel shafts but not as corrosion resistant. 1045 carbon steel shafts balance high strength and good machinability, making them ideal for general purpose use.

Ultra-High-Temperature Quartz Glass Rods and Discs
- Color: Clear
- Max. Temperature: 2100° F
- Fabrication: Annealed
Able to withstand temperatures up to 2100° F, this quartz glass is useful in high-temperature applications that also require optical clarity, such as high-intensity lighting, fiber-optic production, and optical lens systems. It provides excellent UV transmission, as well as high transmission in the visible and infrared ranges.
