Value Collection 05207857 Aluminum Bar 12x5x3 in 6061

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 05207857 is a solid aluminum rectangular bar machined from Alloy 6061, a general-purpose structural aluminum known for good machinability, weldability, and corrosion resistance. The bar measures 12 inches long, 5 inches wide, and 3 inches thick, with a length tolerance of plus or minus 0.250 inches. At 18 pounds, this is a substantial stock piece suited for fabrication, machining, and structural applications. Machinists, fabricators, and industrial tradespeople use this bar as raw stock for custom components, brackets, fixtures, and structural supports where a reliable aluminum alloy is required.

This bar is appropriate for both light industrial and heavy fabrication environments. Its 6061 alloy designation makes it a common choice in applications requiring moderate-to-high strength combined with good corrosion resistance. Typical uses include structural framing, machine bases, tooling plates, and custom-cut components. Each unit ships individually and is suitable for shop floor, job site, or contractor procurement.

Key Features

• Alloy 6061 aluminum offers good strength, corrosion resistance, and machinability
• 12 inches long x 5 inches wide x 3 inches thick — substantial cross-section for heavy stock removal or structural use
• Length tolerance of plus or minus 0.250 inches allows for cut-to-fit applications
• 18-pound unit weight indicates solid, full-density stock with no voids
• Rectangular profile simplifies fixturing and setup on mills, lathes, and saws

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose raw stock bar for fabrication, machining, and structural applications requiring Alloy 6061 aluminum in a 12 x 5 x 3 inch rectangular form.

Installation Notes

Cutting and machining of this bar should be performed by qualified machinists or fabricators using appropriate tooling for non-ferrous aluminum alloys. Eye protection, proper workholding, and chip management are standard requirements when processing aluminum stock. Follow applicable shop safety standards and any site-specific material handling protocols when moving or staging pieces of this weight.
