Feature
●SUPERIOR DELRIN ROD - Acetal Copolymer (POM-C) is a far superior material when compared to Acetal Delrin (POM-H) and UHMW round rods due to POM-Cs greater dimensional stability, chemical resistance, stress resistance and lower friction against metals.
●MADE IN THE USA - Just like Ducos entire line of products, these acetal plastic rods are made right here in the USA. Our high quality acetal copolymer creates plastic dowel rods that are easily machinable and incredibly durable
●PACKAGE CONTENTS - Each set includes 1 acetal copolymer rods, measuring 12" in length and 2" in diameter. PLEASE NOTE: these rods host a ⅛” cut tolerance
●EASILY MACHINABLE - Dont see the exact size you need? Not problem. Ducos acetyl rods can withstand high temperatures, making them great for cutting as they do not lose form or become gummy. Use any type of miter saw, hand saw, milling machine, CNC router, lathe, drill press, or band saw
●VERSATILE - The many unique properties of Ducos copolymer rods allow for a wide array of applications in many different industries and niche environments. Make bushings, guide pins, spacers, fabrication for downriggers, shock parts, dulcimer bridge/nuts, and so much more for your special projects

Description
OUR VERSATILE LINEUP
Ducos acetal plastic rods come in a wide array of different shapes in sizes to suit almost any project you can think of. Our selection includes long plastic rods that measure 6, 12, 18, 24, 36, and 48 inches long and each rod length comes in a variety of diameters measuring at , 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1, 1 1/4, and 2 inches in diameter. We have it all, and the best part is, that our rods are is all made out of high-quality material and perfectly cut right here in the United States of America!
POM-H VS. POM-C
When assessing what type of acetal rod makes sense to use in your next project there is a lot to consider. Will the rods be able to withstand the high stress of being cut? How will they look afterward? If you use them in a high-stress, corrosive, moist or hot environment, will they last? Finally, you have to decide between homopolymer (POM-H) or copolymer (POM-C) material. When taking all of these questions into consideration, the choice between POM-H and POM-C becomes easy. Delrin round stock (POM-H) is an inferior material as copolymer acetal hosts so many benefits when these two are compared to one another. POM-C is more smooth, resistant to cracks and scratches, resistant to chemicals, and electrically resistant than acetal homopolymers. In addition, the centerline porosity of acetal copolymer is very minimal and can occasionally achieve zero, meaning the core of the rod does not let anything in or out, whether it is water or gas. This is not the case with acetal homopolymer. All in all, the choice is clear when searching for a long-lasting material to use for any unique and special project.
