Value Collection .125X.125X36 Steel Square Bar 1018

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION .125X.125X36 is a cold-drawn 1018 low-carbon steel square bar measuring 1/8 inch on each side and 36 inches in length. This solid steel bar stock is a standard raw material used in fabrication, maintenance, repair, and manufacturing operations. The 1018 grade offers a balanced combination of strength and machinability, making it well suited for general-purpose metalworking tasks. At 0.17 pounds, the bar is lightweight and easy to handle on the bench or in the field. It is commonly cut, drilled, welded, or ground to size by machinists, millwrights, maintenance technicians, and fabricators working across industrial and trade settings.

This square bar is used wherever small-section steel stock is needed for brackets, pins, keys, shafts, stops, spacers, and similar components. It is appropriate for light-duty structural and mechanical applications in both shop and field environments. The 36-inch length provides a practical working blank that can be cut to final dimensions with standard metal-cutting equipment. Sold individually, this bar suits low-quantity repair and prototype work as well as stocking in a maintenance shop.

Installation Notes

Cutting and shaping should be performed with appropriate metal-cutting tools such as a cold saw, angle grinder, or band saw. Wear proper PPE including eye protection and gloves when cutting or grinding steel bar stock. Deburr cut ends before fitting to avoid injury and to ensure proper mating with adjacent components. Follow applicable shop safety standards and local codes when welding or heat-treating 1018 steel.
