Starrett 55065 Steel Flat Stock 1-1/4 X 10 X 24 in Aisi C1018

Product Description

The STARRETT 55065 is a low carbon steel flat stock bar measuring 1-1/4 inches thick, 10 inches wide, and 24 inches long, conforming to AISI Type C1018 material specification. This stock is used in fabrication, machining, and structural applications where close dimensional tolerances are required. Thickness and square tolerances are held to plus or minus 0.001 inches, making it suitable for precision layout, tooling, and fixture work. Weighing 85 pounds, this is a heavy-gauge piece intended for industrial and trade use. Machinists, fabricators, and millwrights are the typical end users for this type of material.

AISI C1018 low carbon steel flat stock is widely used in general manufacturing, maintenance shops, and job shops. It machines cleanly, welds readily, and accepts surface treatments including case hardening. Typical applications include fixture plates, spacers, brackets, keys, and structural support components in both commercial and industrial settings. At 10 inches wide and 24 inches long, this piece is suited for medium-scale fabrication tasks where a near-net starting blank is needed.

Installation Notes

Handle with appropriate lifting equipment given the 85-pound weight of this piece. Cut, drill, or machine using tooling rated for low carbon steel. Follow shop safety practices including eye protection and secure workholding before any machining or cutting operations. Edges may be sharp as-received and should be deburred before handling in finished assemblies.
