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

Also known as reamer blanks, these rods are hardened for increased abrasion and impact resistance.

Also known as cobalt steel, this M42 tool steel maintains its hardness in high-speed cutting applications that generate intense heat. Use it to make tools for cutting extremely hard materials.

Hardened for increased abrasion and impact resistance, these precision-ground rods have a tight diameter tolerance and are ready for turning in your lathe.

Hardened for increased abrasion and impact resistance, these rods are precision ground with a tight diameter tolerance.

This material has tighter tolerances than standard 303 stainless steel.

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.

Also known as Project 70+, this material machines faster with less wear on cutting tools than standard 17-4 PH stainless steel.

Hardened for superior wear resistance, these rods are precision ground to a tight diameter tolerance so they’re ready for turning in a lathe.

With a diameter that’s held to a close tolerance, this material is hardened for increased wear and abrasion resistance.

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

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

Combine these general purpose shafts with a linear bearing and shaft support to create a basic linear motion system.

Internal threads allow you to mount these shafts onto threaded studs and fasteners, no shaft supports needed.

Lighter than solid shafts, hollow shafts reduce your total system weight and allow you to run various media such as electrical wiring, compressed air tubing, coolants, or lubricants through the center.

With 2" of each end softened, it's easier to machine a custom end for mounting. The rest of the shaft is case-hardened, which increases hardness and wear resistance on the surface of the shaft while allowing the center to remain soft for absorbing stresses caused by shifting loads.

Made with two pieces, these shaft supports secure your shaft parallel to your mounting surface and make it easy to access the shaft without having to slide it out or uninstall the support. Use these supports when working with light to medium loads where shaft alignment is not critical.

Replace worn shafts in two-piece support-rail shaft systems, or mate with a support rail to create your own. The tapped mounting holes match those on our Support Rails.

Combine these general purpose drive shafts with gears, sprockets, and bearings to transmit rotary motion.

Thread these shafts into a tapped hole to support idler sprockets and pulleys in tensioning applications.

Combine with a machine key to transmit torque to gears, sprockets, and other power transmission components.

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.

Connect these internally threaded shafts directly to threaded components, or use a fastener to secure. They have a flat surface area that allows set screws to dig into the shaft for securely mounting gears, sprockets, and bearings.

Connect these internally threaded shafts directly to threaded components, or use a fastener to secure.

Good for hydraulic systems, machine tools, and other high-torque applications, these shafts have teeth that transmit high rotational loads.

Create a compact linear and rotary motion system for applications requiring complex, fast movements, such as robotics.
