Value Collection 60506 M2 Hss Drill Rod 7/64 in 36 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 60506 is an M2 high speed steel drill rod measuring 7/64 inch in diameter and 36 inches in overall length. Drill rod stock is used as raw material for fabricating cutting tools, punches, pins, and precision shafts. M2 high speed steel offers a strong balance of hardness, toughness, and wear resistance, making it well suited for machining, toolmaking, and general metalworking applications. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals typically work with this material when they need ground, tight-tolerance rod stock ready for secondary operations such as turning, grinding, or heat treating.

This drill rod is appropriate for job shop, production, and maintenance environments where small-diameter precision steel stock is required. At 7/64 inch diameter and 36 inches in length, it provides enough working material for multiple tool blanks or custom pins from a single piece. It is used in manual and CNC machine shops, tool rooms, and maintenance facilities across manufacturing, fabrication, and industrial service settings.

Key Features

• M2 high speed steel construction for reliable hardness and wear resistance
• 7/64 inch diameter provides precision small-diameter stock for tool and pin fabrication
• 36 inch overall length allows multiple workpieces to be cut from a single rod
• Ground rod stock supports tight-tolerance secondary machining and grinding operations
• Compatible with heat treating processes standard to M2 HSS tooling

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose M2 high speed steel drill rod suitable for toolmaking, machining, and precision fabrication applications requiring 7/64 inch diameter rod stock.

Installation Notes

Machining and cutting operations on drill rod stock should be performed by qualified machinists or tool-and-die professionals using appropriate personal protective equipment. Secure the rod properly in a chuck or fixture before machining to prevent movement. If heat treating is required, follow the material specifications for M2 high speed steel and use calibrated heat treating equipment. Deburr all cut ends before handling to avoid injury.
