Value Collection 2011-0.75x36R Aluminum Round Rod

Product Description

The Value Collection 2011-0.75x36R is a solid aluminum round rod machined from 2011 alloy stock, a free-machining grade widely used in precision turning and screw machine work. The rod measures 0.75 inches in diameter and 36 inches in length, making it a practical bar stock length for shop cutting, lathe work, and custom part fabrication. At 1.605 pounds, it is lightweight enough to handle and fixture easily. Alloy 2011 offers excellent chip-breaking characteristics and surface finish quality, making it a go-to choice for machinists producing threaded fasteners, fittings, and precision-turned components.

This round rod is suited for production machining environments, job shops, and maintenance shops where free-machining aluminum bar stock is consumed regularly. The 0.75 inch diameter is a common size for turning down to shaft, stud, or bushing dimensions on manual or CNC lathes. It is also used in prototype fabrication and one-off part work where consistent alloy composition and machinability matter. Sold individually, this rod is appropriate for both single-piece jobs and small-batch runs.

Key Features

• 2011 aluminum alloy: free-machining grade with superior chip control and surface finish
• 0.75 inch diameter round cross-section, ready for lathe or mill work
• 36 inch length provides a standard bar stock cut suitable for most benchtop and floor-model lathes
• Lightweight at 1.605 pounds, easy to handle and fixture without lifting equipment
• Sold as a single rod with no minimum multi-piece requirement

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose aluminum bar stock for use in any shop or machine environment requiring free-machining 2011 alloy round rod at 0.75 inch diameter.

Installation Notes

Machinists should secure the rod properly in a chuck or collet before cutting operations. Use appropriate cutting speeds and feeds for 2011 aluminum alloy to avoid work-hardening at cut surfaces. Eye protection and chip guarding are required during all turning and milling operations. Dispose of aluminum chips per shop safety protocols.
