This versatile silver steel rod is an excellent multi-purpose choice for anyone who needs to make their own tooling parts. Fully compliant with silver steel composition standard BS1407, it's available in lengths of 1 metre with a 16 mm outside diameter.
Silver steel features high amounts of both chrome, for an aesthetically pleasing shine, and carbon, for noticeable toughness, so it's an ideal material for punches, pinions and gauges. This rod is also ground to a tolerance of +0/-0.015 mm, making it well suited for use in applications which need a high level of accuracy.
Like all our RS PRO range products, this versatile metal rod has been rigorously tested for consistent performance and quality construction. Metal rods like these are typically used as dowels, spindles and shafts, or in engineering applications.
