Value Collection 2011-1.25x12R Aluminum Round Rod

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 2011-1.25x12R is a solid aluminum round rod machined from Alloy 2011, a free-machining aluminum alloy widely used in precision screw machine work and general fabrication. The rod measures 1.25 inches in diameter and 12 inches in length, offering a workable stock size for lathe operations, shaft fabrication, and custom machined components. At 1.487 pounds, this rod provides a practical single-piece stock for short-run or prototype work. Machinists, tool and die shops, and general fabricators install and work with this material in both job shop and production environments.

Alloy 2011 aluminum rod is suited for applications requiring tight-tolerance machined parts, including fittings, connectors, fasteners, and standoffs. Its free-machining characteristics make it a go-to stock material for CNC and manual screw machine operations in light manufacturing and maintenance shops. This 12-inch length is appropriate for single-piece or small-batch cuts where longer bar stock is not required.

Key Features

• Alloy 2011 aluminum — engineered for excellent machinability in screw machine and lathe applications
• 1.25 inch diameter provides standard stock sizing for precision turned components
• 12 inch length suitable for single-piece cuts and short-run fabrication
• Solid round rod profile — no seams or welds
• Lightweight at 1.487 pounds for easy handling and fixturing

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose aluminum round rod stock compatible with standard lathe chucks, collets, and CNC screw machine setups accepting 1.25 inch diameter bar stock.

Installation Notes

This rod is worked by machinists using lathes, mills, or screw machines — secure the workpiece firmly in the chuck or collet before beginning any cutting operation. Always wear appropriate eye protection and follow shop safety protocols when machining aluminum. Chip management is important with Alloy 2011, as it produces short, broken chips that can accumulate quickly. Deburr all cut edges before handling finished parts.
