Starrett 54869 Low Carbon Steel Flat Stock 24x1.25x0.0625in

Product Description

The STARRETT 54869 is a Type C1010 low carbon steel flat stock bar intended for layout, fabrication, and general metalworking applications. Measuring 24 inches long, 1.25 inches wide, and 0.0625 inches thick, this flat bar ships at 0.53 pounds and is held to tight dimensional tolerances straight from the manufacturer. Thickness and squareness are controlled to plus or minus 0.001 inches, width is held to a plus 0.000 to 0.005 inch tolerance, and length carries a plus 0.625 inch tolerance. These precision tolerances make it suitable for use as shim stock, strap reinforcement, bracket blanks, or precision layout references where dimensional accuracy matters.

Type C1010 low carbon steel offers good machinability and weldability, making this flat stock appropriate for light fabrication, custom brackets, strapping, and repair work across HVAC, mechanical, and general trade applications. Machinists, millwrights, sheet metal workers, and HVAC fabricators commonly use flat bar stock of this profile when cutting, bending, drilling, or welding custom parts in the field or shop. The 24-inch length gives enough material for most single-piece cuts without excess waste.

Installation Notes

This flat stock is typically cut, drilled, bent, or welded by qualified machinists or trade fabricators using standard metalworking tools. Always wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when cutting or grinding steel stock. Deburr all cut edges before final installation to prevent injury and ensure proper fit. Follow applicable shop safety standards and local codes when incorporating fabricated steel components into mechanical systems.
