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.

Ultra-Formable 260 Brass Rods
- Yield Strength:
Inch sizes: Not Rated
Metric sizes: 9,000 psi - Hardness: Not Rated
- Temper: H01 (1/4 Hard)
- Heat Treatable: No
- Specifications Met: ASTM B134
The most formable brass we offer, 260 offers better weldability than 300 series brass but it’s not as machinable. Sometimes called cartridge brass, it's commonly used for ammunition casings, radiator components, and decorative door hardware.

High-Temperature Ultra-Dense Tungsten Rods
- Maximum Temperature: 2,300° F
- Yield Strength: Not Rated
- Hardness: Rockwell C35 (Hard)
- Temper Rating: Not Rated
Ultra dense for use as electrodes, furnace support pillars, and screws and bolts, these chemically pure tungsten rods withstand greater heat than other high-temperature metal, such as molybdenum. You can also use them in applications where voltage increases may cause temperature spikes that other metal can’t handle. These rods won’t deform in high heat, so they last longer than other metal. However, they’re harder to machine than more ductile tungsten alloys. These rods won’t corrode from chemicals or weather.
