DIY Hardware for Models and Crafts

This pack supplies five 304 stainless steel round rods measuring 5 mm in diameter and 200 mm in length. The material offers strong rust and corrosion resistance with a smooth silver-tone surface. It is intended for hobbyists building model planes, ships, cars or custom mechanical parts.

Suited for Precision Shafts and Small Axles

Makers needing ready-cut stock for gear shafts, motor shafts or miniature axles will find the dimensions convenient. The bars are easy to shape on a lathe or with hand tools without cracking. Builders requiring different diameters, longer lengths or larger quantities should look at other listings.

304 Stainless Steel Alloy Construction

The rods are made from 304 grade stainless steel, chosen for its durability and resistance to oxidation in normal environments. This alloy machines cleanly and holds tight tolerances for small-scale engineering projects. The pack contains exactly five pieces cut to the stated 200 mm length.

Questions about this item

What tools do I need to cut or shape the 5mm diameter 304 stainless steel rods?

You will need a metal-cutting saw, angle grinder with a stainless disc, or a lathe with carbide tooling; 304 stainless work-hardens, so use slow speeds, plenty of cutting fluid, and sharp tools to avoid overheating.

Can I use these 200mm rods as direct replacements for the original 5mm axles on my RC car or truck?

Yes, if your model uses 5mm diameter axles; the 200mm length lets you cut each rod to the exact axle length you need, and 304 stainless resists bending better than mild steel.

How can I verify the rods are genuine 304 stainless after I receive them?

A magnet will show little to no attraction on 304 stainless, the surface should stay bright after light grinding, and a drop of nitric acid will not produce a brown stain — unlike carbon steel.
