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

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

Also known as chrome-moly steel, this versatile 4140 alloy steel is used for a wide range of parts, such as axles, shafts, collets, and die holders. It 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.

A modified version of 4340 alloy steel, 300M is used in applications that require high yield strength, such as torsion bars and drive shafts.

Also known as chrome steel, 52100 is an extremely hard and wear-resistant material. These balls are often used in bearings.

Easier to machine than 52100 alloy steel rods, these extremely hard and wear-resistant tubes are often used to create bearings, bushings, and other cylindrical parts that are under constant stress. They’re also known as chrome steel.

While the low carbon content makes 8620 alloy steel easy-to-weld, it's the nickel, chromium, and molybdenum content that provides wear resistance.

Often used for gears, shafts, and ball screws, 4150 alloy steel resists wear from friction and abrasion.

A vacuum arc remelting (VAR) casting process gives 9310 superior strength, hardness, and fatigue resistance over other types of alloy steel. It's often machined into heavy duty gears, clutch parts, and ratchets.

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

The matte plating on these rods increases corrosion resistance and wear resistance.

Also known as mild steel, use these low-carbon steel balls in parts that don't require high strength.

The lead additive acts as a lubricant, which allows 12L14 carbon steel to withstand very fast machining. It's used to fabricate a wide variety of machine parts.

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

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.

1117 carbon steel responds to surface-hardening heat treatment better than other easy-to-machine carbon steels. Use it to fabricate shaft couplings, studs, pins, and universal joints.

These rod sets are supplied in a metal index case with fold-out panels.

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

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.

Ready for turning in a lathe, these rods are precision ground to a tight diameter tolerance.

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

An oversized diameter allows for finishing to your exact requirements.

An oversized diameter allows for finishing to your exact requirements.

This S2 tool steel has been hardened for excellent strength and impact resistance. It has a tough core that resists breaking under shock loads.

An oversized diameter allows for finishing to your exact requirements.

Furnished hardened, P20 tool steel is strong and easy to machine. It has the wear resistance and highly polishable surface needed to fabricate long-lasting molds and dies.

Resistant to wear, abrasion, and chipping, A11 is a hard material that is often made into punches and stamping tools.

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.

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