| | Scale Model Member | 1.5mm s/steel round bar
Im looking for a supplier of ground, 1.5mm stainless steel or silver steel, round rod, in uk.
I only want about a foot or so.
It has to go through two bearings, so it has to be precision ground.
I want to make a main shaft for a micro helicopter.
Looked on internet, but cant find anything this small diameter.
Cheers

Dont forget it has to be spot on 1.5mm to go through the bearings, or it wont do.
Cheers.
