I need to make some guide wires for a Fathom project I am working on. Can anyone point me to a good resource for purchasing the right gauge wire?

Quoted from Gritty:Thanks, Any good links for the stainless rod? I haven't been able to find them on Amazon in shorter lengths.
Use a dremel to cut to length.
I used this site for another project
