Value Collection 05207568 Aluminum Bar 6061 36x3.5x2.5 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 05207568 is a solid aluminum rectangular bar stock machined from alloy 6061, a general-purpose aluminum alloy widely used across fabrication, structural, and machining applications. This bar measures 36 inches long, 3.5 inches wide, and 2.5 inches thick, with a length tolerance of plus or minus 0.25 inches. At 31.5 pounds, it is a substantial stock piece suited for load-bearing fixtures, frames, brackets, and tooling bases. Alloy 6061 offers good machinability, weldability, and corrosion resistance, making it a reliable choice for both shop fabrication and field use. Machinists, welders, and fabricators are the primary end users of this type of raw stock.

This bar is appropriate for a wide range of industrial and trade applications where a thick, flat aluminum section is required. Common uses include structural supports, mounting plates, jig components, and custom machined parts. The 36-inch length allows for multiple cut-offs per bar depending on the application. Its rectangular cross-section makes it straightforward to fixture and machine on standard milling or turning equipment. This product is sold as a single bar with a minimum order quantity of one.
