Starrett 54895 Low Carbon Steel Flat Stock 1/8 X 1 X 24 in

Product Description

The STARRETT 54895 is a low carbon steel flat stock bar manufactured to Type C1010 material specification. It measures 24 inches long, 1 inch wide, and 1/8 inch thick, with a finished weight of 0.85 pounds. Tolerances are held tight: length tolerance is +0.625 inches, width tolerance is +0.000 to +0.005 inches, and thickness and square tolerance are both +/- 0.001 inches. This flat stock is used in fabrication, maintenance, and repair applications where consistent cross-section and predictable mild steel properties are required. Machinists, millwrights, and general fabricators work with this material for brackets, shims, spacers, and custom components.

Type C1010 low carbon steel is widely used in industrial and trade settings for light structural fabrication, machine guards, mounting plates, and repair stock. Its low carbon content makes it suitable for welding, bending, and drilling without specialized pre-heat procedures in most shop conditions. This bar is sold as individual stock cut to the stated 24-inch length and is appropriate for bench-level fabrication work in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical trades where mild steel flat bar is a common consumable.

Installation Notes

Cut, drill, or weld using standard mild steel tooling and procedures. Deburr all cut edges before installation in any load-bearing or personnel-contact application. Follow applicable shop safety and local building or mechanical codes when incorporating flat stock into structural or mechanical assemblies. Wear appropriate PPE during cutting and grinding operations.
