Value Collection 0003597-MSC 75285353 303 Ss Rect Rod 12in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0003597-MSC 75285353 is a 303 stainless steel rectangular rod measuring 12 inches in overall length (OAL), 1-1/2 inches in width, and 1-1/4 inches in thickness. Weighing 6.39 pounds, this solid bar stock is machined from 303-grade stainless steel, a free-machining austenitic alloy known for its excellent corrosion resistance and ease of cutting, drilling, and turning. It is used in fabrication shops, machine shops, and industrial maintenance environments where close-tolerance rectangular stock is required for custom parts, fixtures, brackets, and mechanical components.

This rectangular rod suits applications in industrial fabrication, OEM component manufacturing, and maintenance repair operations where stainless steel bar stock must meet tight dimensional tolerances. The 303 alloy is particularly well suited to screw-machine operations, making this rod a practical choice for machinists producing precision turned or milled parts. The length tolerance of plus or minus 1.0000 inch accommodates standard cut-to-length bar stock practices, while width and thickness tolerances are held to plus or minus 0.0040 inch and 0.0030 inch respectively for consistent fit in close-tolerance setups.

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, and machining of stainless steel bar stock should be performed by qualified machinists or fabricators using appropriate tooling rated for stainless steel alloys. Secure the workpiece firmly in a vise or fixture before cutting to prevent movement. Follow applicable shop safety standards, including use of appropriate personal protective equipment when machining or grinding stainless steel. Deburr all cut edges before handling or installing finished parts.
