Description
Overview:
This 7/8 inch (22.23 mm) x 13 inch (330.2 mm) Silver Steel Round Section is a tool grade, precision-ground rod designed for accurate machining and dependable performance. Supplied as a single length, MPN 908 078, it is suitable for turning, milling, drilling and grinding on common workshop machines such as lathes, milling machines, drill presses and surface grinders. Silver steel is widely chosen for making custom tools and precision components because it machines cleanly and can be heat-treated (hardened and tempered) for wear resistance. Use it to produce items like punches, reamers, arbors and small shafts where straightness, dimensional stability and a smooth surface finish are important. Ideal for trades, maintenance teams and DIY users needing a reliable round bar for accurate engineering work.
Key Features:
- Tool grade silver steel round bar, precision ground for dimensional accuracy and smooth finish
- Diameter: 7/8 inch (22.23 mm); Length: 13 inches (330.2 mm)
- Consistent roundness and straightness support tight fits and repeatable results
- Heat-treatable: can be hardened and tempered for improved edge retention and wear resistance
- Machines well on lathes, mills, drill presses and grinders for turning, milling, drilling and threading
- Reliable material choice for making punches, reamers, arbors, mandrels and small drive shafts
- Supplied as a single piece (each), easy to cut to length and finish as required
- Suitable for workshop, site repairs, prototyping and small-batch production
- Clean, uniform stock helps reduce set-up time and delivers predictable outcomes
- Practical for both professional engineers and competent DIY users needing accurate, durable stock
Typical Applications:
Commonly used for fabricating punches, reamers, arbors, dowel pins, mandrels, jig and fixture parts, small axles and precision shafts. Suitable for repair work, prototyping, custom tooling and general precision engineering where a ground, heat-treatable round bar is required. Works well in machine shops, maintenance departments and mobile engineering setups.
