If you're looking for a high-quality, versatile metal rod to make your own tooling parts, turn to this silver steel bar. It's fully compliant with BS1407 (standards for the composition of silver steel) and is available in a length of 330 mm with a 20 mm outside diameter.

The rod is ground to a tolerance of +0/-0.010, so it's the perfect choice for dowels, spindles and other uses that demand accuracy.
