Ntroduction How is Drill Rod made? Drill Rod is made by machining tool grade steel into rods. The rod is precision ground to a specific tolerance and then polished to have a clean and smooth surface. The polishing process helps ensure the specific tolerance is maintained. Drill Rod is often tempered prior to machining to relieve the hardness and increase the machinability of the steel. The tempering process involves heating the rod up until it glows red, and then cooled, or quenched in water, oil, or air depending on the Drill Rod grade. The rods are then coated with a rust preventing oil for storage to ensure the polished finish remains untarnished.
