Do you need high-quality metal rods to make your own tooling parts? These versatile silver steel rods are fully compliant with BS1407 (silver steel standards). Each steel rod comes in a 1-metre length with an outside diameter of 12 mm.

Silver steel is an excellent multi-purpose choice for use in punches, pinions and gauges. As part of the trusted RS PRO range, these rods have been strictly tested for consistency and quality. They're ground to very close tolerances (+0/-0.015 mm) making them an excellent choice for dowels, spindles and shafts that demand accuracy.

Silver steel has a high carbon and chrome content, which is what gives the material its noticeable toughness and shine. It's this shine that gives silver steel its name. You'll find this versatile metal rod commonly used in engineering environments.
