Starrett 54899 Low Carbon Steel Flat Stock 24x2.5x0.125 in

Product Description

The STARRETT 54899 is a low carbon steel flat stock bar manufactured to Type C1010 material specification. It measures 24 inches long, 2.5 inches wide, and 0.125 inches thick, weighing 2.12 pounds. This cold-finished flat bar is used for fabrication, repair, and layout work across mechanical, industrial, and trade applications. The tight tolerances — plus or minus 0.001 inches on thickness and squareness, and a width tolerance of plus 0.000 to 0.005 inches — make it suitable for precision fitting and machining setups. Licensed machinists, pipefitters, millwrights, and general maintenance technicians commonly work with this material.

This flat stock is suited for light fabrication tasks, structural repair, spacer and shim stock fabrication, and custom bracket work in both residential and commercial maintenance environments. The 24-inch length provides a workable starting size for most bench or field cutting operations. Type C1010 low carbon steel offers good weldability and machinability, making it a practical choice for general-purpose metalwork where hardened or alloy steel is not required.
