Value Collection 303 Ss Rectangular Rod 12in X 1.5in X 0.5in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0000003564-MSC 75284570 is a 303 stainless steel rectangular rod measuring 12 inches in overall length, 1-1/2 inches in width, and 1/2 inch in thickness. Weighing 2.55 pounds, this bar stock is machined from 303-grade stainless steel, an alloy selected for its excellent machinability and good corrosion resistance. It is well suited for fabrication, maintenance, and repair work in industrial, mechanical, and trade settings where a weldable, corrosion-resistant bar stock is needed. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators typically work with this material for custom parts, spacers, brackets, and structural components.

This rectangular rod is appropriate for use in general machining and fabrication applications across commercial and industrial environments. The 303 alloy grade offers free-machining characteristics that reduce tool wear and improve throughput on lathes, mills, and drill presses. Its compact 12-inch length makes it a practical stock piece for small-batch or one-off part production. The rod ships in a package quantity of one piece.

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, and milling should be performed by qualified machinists or fabricators using appropriate tooling rated for stainless steel. Secure the workpiece firmly in a vise or fixture before machining to prevent movement. Use cutting fluid or coolant appropriate for stainless steel alloys to extend tool life and maintain surface finish. Follow all applicable shop safety practices, including eye protection and proper chip management.
