Spring-Back Multipurpose 304 Stainless Steel Wire
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.

Chemical-Resistant Slippery PTFE Rods and Discs
- Color: White
- Temperature Range: See table
- Tensile Strength: See table (Poor)
- Impact Strength: 3.5 ft.-lbs./in. (Good)
- Hardness: See table (Medium Soft)
- For Use Outdoors: Yes
- Specifications Met: See table
These rods and discs are made of PTFE, a material that surpasses most plastics when it comes to chemical resistance and performance in extreme temperatures. In addition to resisting most solvents, they are an excellent electrical insulator. They are easy to machine and have a naturally slippery surface that makes them a good choice for bearings, gears, and parts that slide and roll.
Ultra-Strength Lightweight Carbon Fiber Rods
- Color: Black
- Temperature Range: See table
- Tensile Strength: 120,000-175,000 psi (Excellent)
- Impact Strength: Not Rated
- Hardness: Not Rated
- For Use Outdoors: No
Strong and lightweight, these rods are made of carbon fiber, the strongest composite we offer. Carbon fiber is comparable in strength to 6061 aluminum yet lighter in weight. These rods are often used to build frames and structures.
