Starrett 55031 Steel Flat Stock 24x12x0.75 in C1018

Product Description

The STARRETT 55031 is a low carbon steel flat stock bar conforming to AISI Type C1018 material specification. Measuring 24 inches long, 12 inches wide, and 0.75 inches thick, this flat stock is suited for precision layout, tooling, fixture building, jig work, and general fabrication where tight dimensional tolerances are required. Thickness and square tolerances are held to plus or minus 0.001 inches, and width tolerance runs plus 0.000 to 0.015 inches, making this bar appropriate for applications where consistent flatness and squareness are critical. Machinists, tool and die makers, and industrial fabricators typically source this stock for shop use.

This flat stock is appropriate for general machining, grinding, and fabrication applications in industrial and shop environments. C1018 low carbon steel offers good machinability and weldability, making it a common choice for fixtures, base plates, and support structures. The 24 x 12 x 0.75 inch format provides a ready-to-machine blank that minimizes material removal compared to oversized raw stock. This bar is sold as an individual piece with a minimum order quantity of one.
