Value Collection 0003569-MSC 75284695 Ss Rectangular Rod

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0003569-MSC 75284695 is a 303 stainless steel rectangular rod cut to a 12-inch overall length, 3-inch width, and 1/2-inch thickness. Grade 303 stainless steel is a free-machining austenitic alloy widely used in precision machining applications where corrosion resistance and dimensional accuracy are required. This rod arrives ready for further machining, fabrication, or use as a raw stock blank. Machinists, tool and die shops, and industrial fabricators rely on this alloy grade for parts that require threading, turning, or milling with standard tooling. The material offers good corrosion resistance in moderate environments while maintaining excellent machinability relative to other stainless grades.

This rectangular rod is suited for general industrial and commercial fabrication applications. Typical uses include machined brackets, shafts, spacers, guides, and custom hardware components. Its flat rectangular profile makes it a practical starting stock for shops producing parts with close dimensional tolerances. It is appropriate for light to medium fabrication environments where both machinability and corrosion resistance are priorities. Each piece ships individually and is intended for direct use as raw material stock by professional machinists and fabricators.

Key Features

• Thickness tolerance of 0.0020 inch supports close-tolerance machining work
• Single-piece packaging with a minimum order quantity of one

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose raw material stock blank suitable for machining, fabrication, and tooling applications in industrial and commercial shop environments.

Installation Notes

This product is raw material stock intended for further machining or fabrication by qualified machinists or metalworking professionals. Secure the workpiece properly in a vise or fixture before cutting or machining. Use cutting tools and speeds appropriate for austenitic stainless steel alloys to avoid work hardening. Personal protective equipment including eye protection and gloves should be worn when handling or machining this material.
