Starrett 55057 Low Carbon Steel Flat Stock 24x2x1.25 in

Product Description

The STARRETT 55057 is a low carbon steel flat stock bar measuring 24 inches in length, 2 inches in width, and 1.25 inches in thickness. Manufactured to AISI Type C1018 material specification, this flat stock delivers consistent dimensional accuracy with a thickness and square tolerance of plus or minus 0.001 inches and a width tolerance of plus 0.000 to 0.005 inches. At 17 pounds per piece, it is suited for fabrication, maintenance, and repair applications where reliable low carbon steel stock is required. Licensed tradespeople and fabricators working in mechanical, industrial, and construction trades routinely use C1018 flat stock for brackets, shims, supports, and custom-fabricated components.

This flat stock is appropriate for general fabrication and trade use across residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. The 24-inch length provides a workable size for cutting to fit custom applications. The 2-inch width and 1.25-inch thickness make it suitable for structural supports, mounting plates, and machined parts where a machinable low carbon steel is specified. It is commonly used by millwrights, ironworkers, pipefitters, and general contractors requiring steel stock with predictable tolerances for layout and fitting work.

Installation Notes

Handle with appropriate lifting technique given the 17-pound piece weight. Cut to length using a horizontal band saw, cold saw, or abrasive cutoff tool appropriate for low carbon steel. Deburr all cut edges before fitment. Follow applicable facility safety procedures and applicable codes when incorporating steel stock into structural or pressure-bearing assemblies.
