Starrett 54880 Steel Flat Stock 24x12x0.0625 in C1010

Product Description

The STARRETT 54880 is a low carbon steel flat stock bar supplied in a 24 x 12 x 0.0625 inch format and manufactured to Type C1010 material specification. This flat stock is used as raw stock material for layout, fabrication, and toolmaking applications in machine shops and metal fabrication environments. It is ground and held to tight dimensional tolerances, including plus or minus 0.001 inch on both thickness and squareness, making it suitable for precision work where dimensional accuracy matters. Machinists, tool and die makers, and fabricators are the primary installers and end users of this material.

This flat stock is appropriate for general-purpose metalworking in both light industrial and professional shop settings. It serves as a starting blank for shims, fixtures, brackets, tooling plates, and other fabricated components where low carbon steel is specified. The 24 x 12 inch sheet size provides a workable blank for a range of layout and cutting operations. The C1010 low carbon composition offers good machinability and weldability without the complications of higher-alloy materials.
