Hello,
I'm looking for a good, reputable, and hopefully inexpensive source for 1/4" and 3/8" M2 tool rod. The problem I'm having is that every time I use M2 the stupid search tools interpret this as 2 mm, even when I put hss, rod, blank, or any other combination I can think of. Very frustrating.
I can find it on mcmaster-carr, but the prices seem a bit excessive, possibly because they guarantee 0.00008" precision on the width.
I also only want one or two pieces, so getting a container full from China doesn't sound like a good option.
Thanks,
Mark
