Steel Rod PWD Tools

Post by rsebring »

These for checking drilled axle hole accuracy (used with a try square)
3009A258 M2/M7 HIGH-SPEED STEEL HARDENED ROD, .0860" DIAMETER, SIZE #44, 2-1/8" LENGTH 1.90

These for use with Sporty's bore process (reuseable less likely to snap in drill press)
3009A269 M2/M7 HIGH-SPEED STEEL HARDENED ROD, .0550" DIAMETER, SIZE #54, 1-7/8" LENGTH 1.93

These to replace that itty bitty rod that comes with "The Block"
