Drill rods of this type serve as precision-ground, straight stock used for toolmaking, fixture building, punch and die work, and general machining applications. M2 high speed steel offers a strong balance of hardness, wear resistance, and toughness, making it a reliable choice for tool and die makers, machinists, and maintenance technicians working in shop environments. The 36-inch length provides flexibility for custom cutting to required lengths on the bench or machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill rod is suited for use in machine shops, tool rooms, and maintenance facilities handling precision metalworking tasks. It is commonly used as raw stock to fabricate punches, pins, shafts, mandrels, and custom cutting tools. The 1\/8-inch diameter is a standard size appropriate for small tooling components and close-tolerance applications where dimensional accuracy is critical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM2 high speed steel construction for strong wear resistance and hardness\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/8 inch diameter precision ground stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e36 inch overall length allows for multiple cuts per rod\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVersatile raw stock for punches, pins, mandrels, and custom tooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard diameter for easy integration into common toolmaking setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose M2 high speed steel drill rod suitable for toolmaking, machining, and fabrication applications requiring 1\/8-inch diameter precision round stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCutting or machining M2 high speed steel drill rod should be performed by qualified machinists or tool and die makers using appropriate cutting fluids and tooling rated for HSS stock. Always secure the rod properly in a vise or fixture before cutting to prevent movement and ensure a clean, square cut. Eye protection and appropriate personal protective equipment should be worn during all cutting and grinding operations. Edges should be deburred after cutting to prevent handling injuries and to ensure proper fit in tooling assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: M2 High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.125 inches (1\/8 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 36 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 60508\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51714583331122,"sku":"60508","price":46.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1de8c8fa8c183b9cc1529df16eb2c189.jpg?v=1788503462","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-60508-m2-hss-drill-rod-1-8-in-36-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
