FAQs
Are other colours available?
Not as standard unfortunately. We do know they can be produced but we are unable to offer them due to very high minimum order quantity (1000’s of metres) requirements.
How do I cut it?
Normal saw blades are able to work through it.
Can it be drilled?
Yes, Bakelite Rod can be drilled without fracturing the material. Normal drill bits should be ok to use.
