Value Collection 0003515-MSC 75275628 Ss Rectangular Rod

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0003515-MSC 75275628 is a 303 stainless steel rectangular rod intended for use in machining, fabrication, and industrial maintenance applications. It measures 72 inches in overall length, 1 inch in width, and 1/8 inch in thickness, with a finished weight of 2.55 pounds. Grade 303 stainless steel is a free-machining austenitic alloy that cuts cleanly on lathes, mills, and saws, making it a practical choice for shops producing brackets, spacers, shafts, and structural details that need corrosion resistance without extensive surface finishing work.

This rectangular rod suits light structural and precision-machined components in commercial and industrial settings. The free-machining properties of 303 stainless make it well-suited to high-volume production work where tight tolerances on width and thickness are required. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance fabricators are the typical end users. The 72-inch length provides stock suitable for multiple parts cut from a single bar.

Key Features

• 303 grade free-machining stainless steel for excellent machinability and corrosion resistance
• 72 inches overall length provides full-bar stock for multi-part layouts
• Width tolerance of plus or minus 0.0040 inches for consistent fit in precision applications
• Thickness tolerance of 0.0020 inches supports close-tolerance fabrication work
• Length tolerance of 3.0000 inches is standard for bar stock cut-to-length supply
• 2.55-pound bar weight suitable for manual handling without lifting equipment

Compatibility

Designed as general-purpose 303 stainless steel bar stock for machining and fabrication use across commercial and industrial environments where free-machining austenitic stainless steel is specified.

Installation Notes

Cutting and machining of stainless steel bar stock should be performed by qualified machinists or fabricators using appropriate tooling rated for stainless alloys. Eye protection, gloves, and chip containment are standard requirements when working with metal bar stock. Deburr all cut edges before handling or installing finished parts. Follow applicable shop safety and OSHA general industry standards during all machining operations.
