Starrett 55075 Low Carbon Steel Flat Stock 24x10x1.5 in

Product Description

The STARRETT 55075 is a low carbon steel flat stock bar cut to 24 inches long, 10 inches wide, and 1.5 inches thick, conforming to AISI Type C1018 material specification. Weighing 102 pounds, this is a heavy-duty raw stock piece suited for fabrication, machining, and structural applications. C1018 is a mild, low carbon steel known for good machinability, weldability, and consistent mechanical properties. It is commonly used by machinists, millwrights, fabricators, and maintenance technicians who need a reliable, tight-tolerance flat bar for custom parts, fixtures, bases, and structural components.

This flat stock is appropriate for industrial and commercial fabrication environments where dimensional consistency matters. The tight thickness and square tolerance of plus or minus 0.001 inches makes it well suited for precision machining setups, tooling plates, and mechanical fixtures. The width tolerance of plus 0.000 to 0.015 inches and length tolerance of plus 0.625 inches are standard for hot-rolled and cold-finished flat bar stock used in machine shops and fabrication facilities. It ships as a single piece per package.

Installation Notes

Handling a 102-pound flat bar requires appropriate lifting equipment or two-person handling to prevent injury. Cutting, drilling, or grinding operations should be performed with proper personal protective equipment including eye and hand protection. Secure the workpiece firmly in a vise or fixture before any machining operation. Follow applicable shop safety standards and local codes when welding or heat-treating C1018 steel.
