Value Collection 02629566 Aluminum Round Rod 6061-T6

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 02629566 is a solid aluminum round rod machined from 6061-T6 alloy, one of the most widely used structural aluminum grades in industrial and fabrication settings. At 36 inches long with a 2.75-inch diameter, this rod provides substantial cross-sectional material for turning, milling, drilling, or structural applications. The T6 temper designation indicates the alloy has been solution heat-treated and artificially aged, resulting in improved strength and hardness compared to annealed stock. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians select 6061-T6 rod when they need a balance of strength, corrosion resistance, and workability in a single piece of bar stock.

This rod is suited for general-purpose industrial fabrication, machine shop work, and repair applications where a medium-to-large diameter aluminum bar is required. Common uses include shaft stock, structural standoffs, custom fittings, jig components, and replacement parts machined to spec. The 36-inch length allows for multiple cuts from a single piece, reducing scrap when producing several identical components. It is appropriate for both light manufacturing environments and field maintenance shops handling heavy equipment or structural assemblies.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose aluminum round rod for machining, fabrication, and structural applications. No specific OEM or equipment compatibility is stated for this item.

Installation Notes

Cutting, turning, or drilling of this rod should be performed by a qualified machinist or fabricator using appropriate tooling rated for non-ferrous metals. Secure the workpiece firmly in a chuck or vise before any machining operation to prevent movement. Use coolant or cutting fluid appropriate for aluminum to extend tool life and achieve clean surface finishes. Follow all applicable shop safety standards when cutting or handling large-diameter bar stock of this weight.
