Description
Precision ground natural Nylon 66 (PA66) rod with a diameter tolerance of -0mm/+0.05mm. Ground to an accurate outside diameter in common imperial sizes from ¼" to 1¾", plus 50mm, and supplied in packs of full 3000mm lengths. Ideal where a standard extruded rod is not accurate enough.
Why choose precision ground rod
- Tight outside diameter tolerance of -0mm/+0.05mm
- Smooth precision ground finish
- The strength, stiffness and wear resistance of Nylon 66 – the strongest and most rigid of the unmodified nylons
- Well suited to machining on automatic lathes
- High quality and performance for accurate parts
