Starrett 54866 Low Carbon Steel Flat Stock 24x0.5x0.0625 in

Product Description

The STARRETT 54866 is a low carbon steel flat stock bar measuring 24 inches in length, 0.5 inches in width, and 0.0625 inches in thickness. Manufactured to Type C1010 material specification, this flat stock is held to tight dimensional tolerances, making it suitable for precision layout, fabrication, and toolroom applications. Length tolerance is plus 0.625 inches, width tolerance is plus 0.000 to 0.005 inches, and both thickness and squareness tolerances are held to plus or minus 0.001 inches. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians use this stock for shims, brackets, spacers, and custom tool components where close dimensional control is required.

This flat stock is appropriate for light fabrication and precision toolroom use in both residential and commercial maintenance environments. Its low carbon C1010 steel composition offers good machinability and weldability, making it a practical choice for general metalworking tasks. Shops, service vehicles, and maintenance departments commonly stock flat bar in this size for on-demand shimming, spacer fabrication, and repair work across mechanical and HVAC service applications.

Installation Notes

Installation and cutting of steel flat stock should be performed by a qualified machinist or fabricator using appropriate metalworking tools. Deburr all cut edges before fitting to avoid injury or damage to mating surfaces. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection and gloves when cutting or grinding. Ensure all equipment is powered down before fitting shims or spacers in mechanical assemblies.
