does anyone know where to get drill rod in lenghts longer than 36"? I was hoping to get all my stuff from MSC since they are local here but they only carry up to 36"

That's one of life's mysteries, and also the basis why I don't believe the metric system is "natural' :D (Let the flames begin :D)

@Darren: I buy drill rod in 3m lengths. I'm sure if you try someone that sell steel to the industry you can get that length or longer.

@HuFlungDung: What units do you measure current and voltage in?
I'm glad I mostly have to calculate time shorter than one second. When getting above 60 seconds, I get a feeling for how it must be to use imperial. And it's not a good feeling. But by all means stick with imperial for as long as you can. It's nice for us to be able to make things quicker. ;)

Why do you think you were born with 10 fingers and not 4,8 or 16? http://www.sjaavik.com/images/lol.gif
