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
