Precision ground to a tight diameter tolerance, these rods are ready for turning in your lathe.

Ductile cast iron is strong, resilient, and able to handle repeated stress without breaking.

These rods are precision ground for a tight diameter tolerance of ±0.0005".

954 bronze contains a minimum of 10% aluminum for strength and weldability. It is also known as aluminum bronze. It's widely used for bearings, bushings, valve bodies, and worm gears.

Frequently called manganese brass, 863 bronze can handle heavy loads and high speeds when properly lubricated.

An easier-to-machine alternative to 932 bronze, 936 also has better corrosion resistance. It's also called modified SAE 64.

AMPCO® 18 is a premium aluminum-bronze alloy that combines strength with superior wear resistance.

The addition of MDS gives these tubes exceptional wear resistance along with a self-lubricating surface. They're made of cast nylon 6, making them easier to machine and better electrical insulators than other MDS-filled nylon tubes.

This nylon stays lubricated over time because it’s filled with oil. Use it to fabricate parts for hard-to-reach places where adding lubricants would be difficult.

A good choice for making sprockets and pulleys, these cast nylon 6 tubes withstand higher temperatures and are easier to machine than standard nylon 6/6 tubes.

This cast nylon 6 material is easier to machine than other types of nylon. It’s comparable to Nylatron and Nycast.

Cast acrylic is easier to machine than extruded acrylic. It's comparable to Lucite and Plexiglas® Acrylic.

Also known as single-start and self-locking lead screws and nuts, these have a single thread that runs the length of the screw. The nut travels only when the screw turns, so your system won't unexpectedly move when the lead screw is at rest.

Slide the shaft in to install, then tighten to secure. For use with light to medium loads where shaft alignment is not critical, these shaft supports brace the end of a linear shaft along the ground or other flat surface.
