Value Collection 2011-1x36R Aluminum Round Rod 1 in Alloy 2011

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 2011-1x36R is an aluminum round rod machined from Alloy 2011, a free-machining aluminum alloy widely used in precision turning and screw machine work. The rod measures 1 inch in diameter and 36 inches in length, making it a standard bar-stock cut suitable for use in lathes, mills, or fabrication setups. At 2.85 pounds, it is a manageable single-piece stock length. Alloy 2011 is selected specifically for applications where high machining speed and excellent surface finish are priorities, offering good dimensional stability and chip-breaking characteristics during cutting operations.

This round rod is suited for machine shops, maintenance departments, and fabrication facilities that require free-machining aluminum bar stock. Typical applications include turned parts, threaded fasteners, fittings, bushings, and other precision-machined components where weldability is secondary to machinability. It is appropriate for both production runs and prototype work where a readily available, consistent-diameter aluminum rod is needed. Sold as a single piece per package.

Key Features

• Alloy 2011 composition optimized for free-machining and high-speed turning operations
• 1 inch diameter provides a standard bar-stock size compatible with common lathe chuck configurations
• 36 inch length offers flexibility for multiple part cuts from a single rod
• Consistent diameter supports tight-tolerance machining without excessive material removal
• Lightweight at 2.85 pounds for easy single-operator handling and setup

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose free-machining aluminum round rod compatible with standard metalworking lathes, mills, and screw machines requiring 1-inch diameter bar stock in Alloy 2011.

Installation Notes

This material is worked by machinists and fabricators using standard metalworking equipment. Secure the rod properly in a lathe chuck or collet before beginning any cutting operation and verify that tooling is rated for aluminum alloys. Eye protection and appropriate chip guards are required during machining. Follow applicable shop safety standards and equipment manufacturer guidelines when handling rotating stock.
