    Solid Steel Rod.

    I am looking for a supplier to order 1/8" and smaller solid steel rod from. A few people I have talked to suggested looking for steel wire distributors, but this has not turned up and useful leads, and any search online with wire in it, takes me to sites selling actually wire.

    I'm in need of this to retrofit, some old 1/8" wire racks. so I know this stuff has to exist.

    Any Suggestions?

    TIA,
    mike

    Any welding shop should have 1/8" steel gas welding rod in copper coated or uncoated, the length is usually 36" if that is not a problem.
