With a minimum of 10% chromium content, stainless steel is known for corrosion resistance. It's typically not as strong as steel and can be more difficult to machine.

A combination of high strength, hardness, and wear resistance makes tool steel especially well-suited for use as cutting tools.

Offering high electrical conductivity and formability, 110 copper is 99.9% pure. Also known as ETP copper, it's often used in electrical applications, such as for bus bars and wire connectors, as well as for flashing, gaskets, and rivets.

A good all-around choice, Garolite G-10/FR4 is strong, machinable, and electrically insulating. It meets UL 94V0 for flame retardance.

Use dowel pins as pivots, hinges, shafts, jigs, and fixtures to locate or hold parts.
