Tight-Tolerance High-Speed M2 Tool Steel Rods
- Yield Strength: 105,000 psi
- Hardness: Rockwell B110 (Hard)
- Heat Treatable: Yes
- Max. Hardness After Heat Treatment: Rockwell C66
- Specifications Met: ASTM A600
Also called drill rod, these precision-ground rods have a tight diameter tolerance and are held to a strict straightness tolerance. Use them for turning applications in your lathe. 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 Tight-Tolerance Multipurpose Oil-Hardening O1 Tool Steel Rods
- Yield Strength: Not Rated
- Hardness: Rockwell C60 (Very Hard)
Hardened for increased abrasion and impact resistance, these precision-ground rods have a tight diameter tolerance and are ready for turning in your lathe. They’re also known as drill rod. Use them to make dies, punches, and gauges. O1 tool steel is an oil-hardening material that resists wear and abrasion.

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.
