Does anybody know where I can get a size D (.248) drill blank at least 12 inches long.
Thanks
Morton
"drill rod" can be obtained in many different materials including tool steel. most commonly it is in O1 tool steel if memory serves me correctly. have purchased miles of the stuff in my career.A note on the precision of wording -- "Drill Rod" is not the same thing as "Drill Blank"
Drill Rod is high carbon steel -- usually oil hardening
Drill blanks is high speed steel - these are often made into drill bits and special tooling.
