Often called Stressproof, these rods are stress-relieved to minimize warping during machining.

Also known as Fatigueproof, these rods have enhanced strength and resistance to breaking from repeated impact compared to High-Strength Easy-to-Machine 1144 Carbon Steel Rods.

The lead additive acts as a lubricant, which allows 12L14 carbon steel to withstand very fast machining. It's used to fabricate a wide variety of machine parts.

Precision ground and held to a strict tightness tolerance, these rods are ready for turning in a lathe.

These rods are hardened for increased abrasion and impact resistance. Also known as chrome-moly steel, 4140 alloy steel resists fracturing from repeated stress.

Also known as chrome-moly steel, this versatile 4140 alloy steel is used for a wide range of parts, such as gears, axles, shafts, collets, and die holders. It resists fracturing from repeated stress.

Often called ETD-150, these rods are made from a modified version of 4140 alloy steel and have been drawn at high temperatures for excellent strength.

Use for power transmission and structural applications that involve extreme impact, heat, and wear.

4130 alloy steel has a low carbon content that provides good weldability. It's often used for gears, fasteners, and structural applications.

Also known as chrome steel, 52100 is an extremely hard and wear-resistant material. It’s used for parts such as bearings, bushings, and punches.

Easier to machine than 52100 alloy steel rods, these extremely hard and wear-resistant tubes are often used to create bearings, bushings, and other cylindrical parts that are under constant stress. They’re also known as chrome steel.

A vacuum arc remelting (VAR) casting process gives 9310 superior strength, hardness, and fatigue resistance over other types of alloy steel. It's often machined into heavy duty gears, clutch parts, and ratchets.

Often used for gears, shafts, and ball screws, 4150 alloy steel resists wear from friction and abrasion.

An oversized diameter allows for finishing to your exact requirements.

Gray cast iron machines faster with less wear on cutting tools than most types of steel. It's often fabricated into gears, pulleys, rollers, and bushings.

Also known as music wire.

These rods, also known as drill blanks, have an undersized diameter for machining your own jobbers'-length drill bits.

Also known as reamer blanks, these rods are hardened for increased abrasion and impact resistance.

An oversized diameter allows for finishing to your exact requirements.

Made from powdered metal, M4 tool steel has a consistent microstructure that gives it outstanding resistance to wear and abrasion. It is comparable to CPM Rex M4.

Ready for turning in a lathe, these rods are precision ground to a tight diameter tolerance.

An oversized diameter allows for finishing to your exact requirements.

Hardened for increased abrasion and impact resistance, these rods are precision ground with a tight diameter tolerance.

All set for turning in your lathe, these precision-ground rods are held to a strict straightness tolerance.

An oversized diameter allows for finishing to your exact requirements.

Furnished hardened, P20 tool steel is strong and easy to machine. It has the wear resistance and highly polishable surface needed to fabricate long-lasting molds and dies.

Combine these general purpose drive shafts with gears, sprockets, and bearings to transmit rotary motion.

Combine with a machine key to transmit torque to gears, sprockets, and other power transmission components.

In addition to diameter tolerances that are twice as tight as standard keyed shafts, these shafts include a traceable lot number and test report. Use them with machine keys to transmit torque to gears, sprockets, and other power transmission components.

Connect these internally threaded shafts directly to threaded components, or use a fastener to secure.

Good for hydraulic systems, machine tools, and other high-torque applications, these shafts have teeth that transmit high rotational loads.

A flat surface area allows set screws to dig into the shaft for securely mounting gears, sprockets, and bearings.

Combine these general purpose shafts with a linear bearing and shaft support to create a basic linear motion system.

Keep a material certificate on hand for compliance and quality assurance needs. Certificates include a traceable lot number and material test report. These hollow shafts reduce system weight and allow you to run various media such as electrical wiring, compressed air tubing, coolants, or lubricants through the center.

Mount these externally threaded shafts into tapped holes rather than using a shaft support, or attach a hex nut, shaft collar, or other threaded accessory.

For your compliance and quality assurance needs, these shafts come with a material certificate with a traceable lot number.

Replace worn shafts in two-piece support-rail shaft systems, or mate with a support rail to create your own. The tapped mounting holes match those on our Support Rails.

Typically used with extreme-pressure iron and steel unthreaded pipe fittings. Pipe is also known as Schedule XXH .

Typically used with thick-wall and high-pressure iron and steel unthreaded pipe fittings. Also known as Schedule 80.

Typically used with medium-pressure galvanized iron and steel threaded pipe fittings. Also known as Schedule 80.

Typically used with medium-pressure iron and steel threaded pipe fittings. Also known as Schedule 80.

Typically used with extreme-pressure iron and steel threaded pipe fittings. Also known as Schedule XXH.

Made of galvanized steel, this Schedule 40 pipe has fair corrosion resistance and is designed for low-pressure applications.

A plastic sleeve prevents destructive corrosion when connecting different metals.

Pipe has clockwise (right-hand) threads on one end and counterclockwise (left-hand) threads on the other end. When you use a wrench to turn, connections on both ends tighten at the same time.
