Value Collection 1.25X02.0X12 1018 Cold Finished Steel Bar

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1.25X02.0X12 is a 1018 cold finished steel flat bar measuring 1.25 inches thick, 2 inches wide, and 12 inches long. Cold finishing produces a smooth, clean surface with tighter dimensional tolerances than hot rolled bar stock, making this piece well suited for machining, fabrication, and structural applications where close tolerances matter. Weighing 8.74 pounds, this bar is sized for benchtop work and shop operations. The 1018 grade offers good machinability, moderate strength, and reliable weldability, making it a common choice across metal fabrication, maintenance, and repair work.

This flat bar is used in general metalworking shops, maintenance facilities, and light fabrication environments. Typical applications include brackets, fixture components, machine bases, supports, and repair stock. The 12-inch length is practical for short-run custom cuts and one-off parts. Cold finished 1018 bar is a standard stock material for machinists and fabricators working in both production and job-shop settings.

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, and welding should be performed by qualified metalworkers or machinists using appropriate personal protective equipment. Secure the bar firmly in a vise or fixture before machining or cutting operations. Follow applicable shop safety standards and local codes when welding or grinding. Inspect cut edges for burrs and deburr as needed before handling or assembly.
