Engineering And Hobby Rod Categories
Rod - Round - Aluminium
Also see combined categories:
All Metal Rod - Round
For general hobby applications.
NOTE! Very thin sizes may experience some bending. They may not be straight for the entire length. May be slightly oversized on OD so some reworking may be required before fitting closely mating parts such as bearings. For use with bearings we suggest you use items from the category - Shafting - Ground.
