When you need a high-quality metal rod to make your own tooling parts, this 1-metre silver steel bar is versatile and fully compliant with BS1407 standards (for the composition of silver steel). It has an outside diameter of 25 mm.

Combining high amounts of chrome (giving it the characteristic shine from which it takes its name) and carbon (providing reliable toughness), silver steel is an excellent material for use in punches, pinions and gauges. In addition, this versatile metal rod is ground to a very close tolerance, making it well suited for applications that require accuracy, like spindles, dowels and shafts.

As part of our RS PRO range, this rod has been thoroughly tested to ensure the highest standards of quality and consistency. You'll find steel rods like this frequently used in engineering applications.
