Value Collection 02255891 Aluminum Plate 6061 8x8 1.25in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 02255891 is a solid aluminum plate cut from Alloy 6061 stock, measuring 8 inches long by 8 inches wide and 1.25 inches thick. Alloy 6061 is a heat-treatable, medium-to-high strength aluminum alloy widely used in structural and fabrication applications. The plate weighs approximately 9 pounds, making it a substantial piece suited for load-bearing brackets, machine bases, jigs, fixtures, and general fabrication work. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance trades rely on 6061 plate for its balance of strength, corrosion resistance, and machinability. Length tolerance is plus or minus 0.250 inches.

This plate is appropriate for use in light industrial, commercial, and professional fabrication settings. Common applications include structural supports, mounting plates, tooling fixtures, and custom brackets across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical trades. The 8-inch by 8-inch footprint and 1.25-inch thickness provide material for both single-part fabrication and cut-down stock applications where a rigid, weldable aluminum base material is required.

Key Features

• 1.25-inch thickness provides substantial material for drilling, milling, and tapping operations
• 8 inches x 8 inches footprint suitable for a wide range of bracket and fixture applications
• Heat-treatable alloy compatible with standard welding and machining processes
• Weighs 9 pounds, indicating full solid stock with no voids or laminations

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose aluminum plate for fabrication and machining applications. No specific OEM or equipment compatibility is stated for this part.

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, and machining of aluminum plate should be performed by qualified machinists or fabricators using appropriate tooling rated for aluminum. Always wear appropriate PPE, including eye protection and gloves, when cutting or deburring aluminum stock. Secure the plate firmly in a vise or fixture before any machining operation to prevent movement. Deburr all cut edges before installation to prevent injury and surface damage to mating components.
