Value Collection 2024.5X1.25X12F Aluminum Rect Bar

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 2024.5X1.25X12F is a solid aluminum rectangular bar machined from 2024 alloy stock. It measures 0.5 inches thick, 1.25 inches wide, and 12 inches long, with tight dimensional tolerances of plus or minus 0.002 inches on both thickness and width. Alloy 2024 is a high-strength aluminum known for its excellent fatigue resistance, making this bar a practical choice for structural brackets, fixture components, jigs, and precision machined parts. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians working in industrial, HVAC, and mechanical service environments regularly use stock like this for custom fabrication tasks requiring reliable dimensional accuracy.

This rectangular bar is suited for general fabrication, repair, and prototype work across residential, commercial, and light industrial applications. Its compact 12-inch length makes it practical for small-run machining, custom bracket fabrication, reinforcement plates, and structural spacers. Facilities maintenance staff, mechanical contractors, and machine shops will find this a ready-to-cut stock piece for projects requiring consistent material properties and close tolerances.

Key Features

• 2024 aluminum alloy construction offering high strength-to-weight ratio and good fatigue resistance
• Tight width tolerance of plus or minus 0.002 inches for precision fitment
• Tight thickness tolerance of plus or minus 0.002 inches for consistent stock dimensions
• Rectangular profile is ready for sawing, drilling, milling, or grinding without additional surface prep
• Lightweight at 0.758 pounds, reducing handling effort in the field or shop
• Single-piece packaging supports low-volume needs and one-off fabrication jobs

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose aluminum rectangular bar suitable for custom fabrication, maintenance repair, and prototype applications wherever 2024 alloy stock in this size is specified.

Installation Notes

This bar stock is typically worked by machinists or fabricators using standard metalworking equipment including band saws, milling machines, and drill presses. Always use appropriate personal protective equipment when cutting or grinding aluminum. Deburr all cut edges before handling or installation to prevent injury and ensure proper fit in assemblies. Verify dimensional requirements against your application drawings before cutting, as cut pieces cannot be returned to original stock length.
