W1 Drill Rod, is the most popular, versatile, and least
expensive grade of drill rod. W1 Drill Rod has a high carbon content allowing it to be used
often without heat treatment, for maintenance applications. Treats
evenly and provides toughness and maximum wear resistance. W1 Drill Rods are ground to a surface finish of better than 40 micro inches and are free from defects and decarburization.
