Plastic

A lightweight alternative to metal and glass

Stainless Steel

Stainless Steel

Resists corrosion and chemicals in most environments

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

Bronze

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

Garolite

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

Titanium

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

Fiberglass

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

Rubber

Compresses and bounces back to shape; often used for sealing, cushioning, and shock absorbing

Tungsten

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

Nickel

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

Ceramic

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

Wood

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

Zinc

Draws corrosion away from nearby metal; an alternative to lead for sound barriers and vibration dampers

Foam

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

Graphite

Compressible or conductive for making high-temperature seals, furnace parts, and crucibles

Carbon Fiber

The strongest composite we offer; comparable in strength to 6061 aluminum but lighter in weight

Hard Fiber

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

Glass

Clear and highly heat and chemical resistant; often used in sights, lighting, and lab equipment

Power Transmission

Shafts

Transmit power, motion, and speed between machine components

Lead Screws and Nuts

Lead Screws and Nuts

Components travel along a screw with broad, square threads to clamp and lift heavy loads

Fastening and Joining

Spot Welding Electrodes

Spot Welding Electrodes

Press onto the tips of spot welders to change the size and shape of the weld

Stick Electrodes

Stick Electrodes

Flux coated for stability and speed when welding most metals

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

Fluid Handling

Corrosion-Inhibiting Rods and Pads

Corrosion-Inhibiting Rods and Pads

Protect tanks, water heaters, and heat exchangers from rust; also known as sacrificial anodes

Mixer Shafts

Replace the shaft on mixers

Sealing

Backer Rods

Insert into gaps before caulking to reduce how much sealant you need and improve adhesion

Electrical

Grounding Rods

Link an electrical system to a ground

Facility and Grounds Maintenance

Rebar

Reinforces concrete to reduce the chance it will crack from expansion and contraction
