Starrett 54896 Low Carbon Steel Flat Stock 24x1-1/4x1/8

Product Description

The STARRETT 54896 is a low carbon steel flat stock bar cut to 24 inches in length, 1-1/4 inches wide, and 1/8 inch thick. Manufactured to Type C1010 material specification, it delivers consistent dimensional accuracy with tight machined tolerances: thickness held to plus or minus 0.001 inches, width to plus 0.000 to 0.005 inches, and length to plus 0.625 inches. Weighing 1.06 pounds per piece, it is a practical raw material for fabrication, repair, and custom component work. Machinists, maintenance mechanics, and fabricators use this stock to cut, drill, weld, or shape into brackets, straps, shims, and structural supports across industrial and commercial trade applications.

This flat stock is suited for general-purpose metalworking in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical service environments where a reliable, weldable low carbon steel bar is needed. It is commonly used in shop fabrication, field repair work, and custom bracket or mounting hardware production. The C1010 grade machines and welds cleanly, making it a versatile choice for one-off parts and small production runs where precise dimensional control is required.
