Flattening Rod

Application: MCP flattens up to 1.0" diameter rods of any length. Flattening is a cost-effective way to incorporate basic functions in a rod without the need for machining or other more costly processes. As a secondary operation, the punched hole can then be tapped for threads. The other end can be formed or machined to your specifications. Hole tolerance dictates the process used to create the hole. The most cost effective hole is punched. Punched holes must be at least 10% larger in diameter than flat thickness (dimension "T"). Punched slots minimize assembly time and ease alignment of mating parts.
