Description
Overview:
The Steel Rod 4mm Precision Ground 333mm Length is a bright-finish, high carbon tool steel round bar for accurate machining, repair, and tool making. From the Silver Steel range, it offers a consistent, precision-ground diameter for reliable fits in bushes, bearings, and collets. The rod measures 4 mm (approximately 0.16 in) in diameter and 333 mm (approximately 13.1 in) in length, with chamfered, deburred ends for safe handling. It machines cleanly on lathes, mills, and drill presses and responds predictably to heat treatment for hardening and tempering when required. Suited to workshop, site, and maintenance use, it is a dependable choice for producing small shafts, pins, punches, arbors, and other precision components where accuracy, finish, and durability are important.
Key Features:
- 4 mm (0.16 in) diameter and 333 mm (13.1 in) length for compact, versatile use
