Eight rods for DIY models

This pack contains eight 304 stainless steel round rods sized 5 mm by 400 mm. They suit hobbyists building model planes, ships, cars or small mechanical projects such as gear shafts and motor shafts. The material is rust-resistant and corrosion-resistant for lasting use.

Manual measurement tolerance

Each rod is supplied with a possible 1 to 5 mm variance in length or diameter due to hand measurement. Builders who need tighter tolerances for precision fits should verify dimensions before machining. The smooth surface helps shaping but does not guarantee exact size.

Ready to cut and shape

Rods arrive as plain bar stock with no pre-drilled holes or finished ends, so cutting to length and any drilling or turning is left to the user. Common issues include underestimating the hardness of 304 steel when hand-filing and overlooking the measurement tolerance when designing tight assemblies.

Questions about this item

How do I choose between the 5 mm and 13/64 inch diameter listings?

They are the same rod — 5 mm equals 13/64 inch — so pick whichever unit you prefer.

What does the 304 stainless steel rating mean for a model axle?

304 grade gives strong rust and corrosion resistance, so the axle stays smooth and durable in humid or outdoor use.

Will the 400 mm length fit a standard RC gearbox?

Each rod is 400 mm (15.7 in) long; you can cut it to the exact shaft length your gearbox needs.
