Hi Bill

The MT 2 price at Busy Bee is $9.99 Can. catalog # B460

Drill rod on special right now at Enco, 5/8"D 36" long, runs $5.59 for
water hardening and $6.99 for oil hardening rod, 5/8" carbon steel
$9.85 for 6 feet long this all $ US

They have a lot more sizes and also air hardening steel which is more
expensive, go to page 634 for more info

So depending on what you chose, the cost would be roughly $10.-- +
$3.-- add shipping cost and your cost a piece probably runs less than
$20.--

Have fun and take care
