473 Products

Raw Materials

Stainless Steel

Stainless Steel

Resists corrosion and chemicals in most environments

Steel

Strong, machinable, and weldable but lacks corrosion resistance

Plastic

A lightweight alternative to metal and glass

Aluminum

Lightweight, easy to machine, and corrosion resistant in wet environments

Copper

The most conductive of our metals, it excels in all types of electrical applications

Brass

More machinable than copper and bronze for making nuts, hinges, and locks

Fiberglass

A lightweight alternative to metal and wood widely used in electrical and structural applications

Titanium

The most corrosion-resistant metal we offer, with very high strength relative to its weight

Garolite

A strong, machinable alternative to metal and plastic widely used in circuit boards and gears

Tungsten

Our densest metal resists wear and heat to make end mills, heat shields, electrodes, and more

Bronze

With better wear resistance than copper and brass, it’s used for bearings, gears, and pump parts

Ceramic

Hard and wear resistant, it also withstands corrosion and high temperatures

Foam

Pockets of air make it lighter in weight than rubber; good for packing, insulating, and sealing

Nickel

An upgrade from stainless steel that withstands harsh chemicals and acids at high temperatures

Wood

Commonly used to build ramps, crates, and prototypes or to make repairs

Hard Fiber

Chemically treated to be hard and dense, this is the easiest composite to machine in our offering

Felt

Thicker and more absorbent than fabric for insulating, polishing, cushioning, and gasketing

Niobium

Conductive, corrosion resistant, and strong, even at extremely high and low temperatures

Fastening and Joining

Dowel Pins

Align parts before assembly or use as a pivot, shaft, or hinge to join moving components

Dowel Pin Stock

Dowel Pin Stock

Cut to the length you need for positioning and holding parts in place

Hot Air Welding Rods

Hot Air Welding Rods

Melt with heat from a welder to create joints between pieces of plastic

Stick Electrodes

Stick Electrodes

Flux coated for stability and speed when welding most metals

Brazing Alloys

Form stronger bonds between metal parts than solder without melting the base material

Power Transmission

Shafts

Transmit power, motion, and speed between machine components

Measuring and Inspecting

Variance Indicator Extension Rods

Variance Indicator Extension Rods

Lengthen the reach of your variance indicator
