A cheaper method may be to buy tungsten welding rod and then find a die
grinding shop to cut them to length.  This is what I did and it worked out
to about $5 a piece.  The die grinding shop managed to hold +/- .0002
tolerance even though I didn't ask them to!

I am interested in 3/8 x 1.5 inch tungsten.  Is there a date for this order?
