Value Collection 05207956 Aluminum Bar 36x6x1 in Alloy 6061

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 05207956 is a 6061 aluminum rectangular bar measuring 36 inches long, 6 inches wide, and 1 inch thick. Alloy 6061 is a heat-treatable, general-purpose aluminum alloy known for solid machinability, good corrosion resistance, and consistent mechanical properties across a wide range of fabrication applications. This bar ships as a single piece and weighs 21.6 pounds. Length tolerance is plus or minus 0.25 inches. It is commonly purchased by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance tradespeople who need a ready-to-cut aluminum stock for structural brackets, fixture plates, spacers, and general metalworking work orders.

This rectangular bar is suited for light structural, mechanical, and fabrication applications in both shop and field environments. Typical uses include machine frames, mounting plates, gussets, enclosure supports, and custom fabricated brackets where corrosion resistance and easy machinability are required. The 36-inch length provides a full 3-foot working blank that can be cut to net length on a bandsaw, cold saw, or milling machine. It is a single-piece quantity suitable for prototype work, maintenance shops, and small-run production.

Key Features

• Alloy 6061 aluminum: heat-treatable with good corrosion resistance and machinability
• Full 36-inch (3 ft) length provides a workable blank for a wide range of cut-to-size applications
• 1 inch thickness and 6 inch width offer substantial cross-section for structural and load-bearing fabrication
• Length tolerance of plus or minus 0.25 inches — verify net length requirements before ordering for tight-tolerance work
• Ships as a single piece at 21.6 pounds — no minimum bundle required

Compatibility

General-purpose aluminum bar stock compatible with standard milling, drilling, sawing, and turning operations. Suitable for any application requiring 6061 aluminum flat bar at 36 x 6 x 1 inch nominal dimensions.

Installation Notes

Cutting and machining should be performed using tooling and speeds appropriate for aluminum alloys. Secure the bar firmly in a vise or fixture before any cutting or drilling operation to prevent movement. Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection and gloves when handling or machining. Deburr all cut edges before installation in final assemblies to prevent injury and fitment issues.
