For the makers, engineers, and prototyping folks out there - this machinable ceramic rod is seriously cool stuff.
The MAC1-1206 is a 3/4 inch diameter by 6 inch long ceramic rod that you can actually machine with standard tools and cutters.
What's amazing is you can hold crazy tight tolerances with it - we're talking +/- .0001 inches and surface finishes down to 1-2 ra.
It stays stable at temperatures up to 800°C continuously, with peak handling at 1000°C - that's some serious heat resistance!

As an electrical insulator, it performs beautifully at high voltages and across a wide frequency range.
The thermal expansion matches most metals and sealing glasses, which makes it perfect for all kinds of applications.

It has zero porosity so no outgassing issues, and you don't need any post-firing after machining.
Whether you're creating prototypes, need high-temperature components, electrical insulation parts, or just want to experiment with a versatile ceramic material, this rod delivers.

The tolerances are tight - diameter is +.015/-.000 and length is saw cut on the plus side.

Honestly, it's one of those materials that opens up so many possibilities for creative projects and precision work.
