Cut to 72 inches overall length, 1\/2 inch wide, and 1\/8 inch thick, this flat bar stock ships ready for layout and machining operations. The 303 alloy grade is the standard free-machining stainless, offering good corrosion resistance alongside superior machinability compared to 304 or 316 grades. At 1.28 pounds per piece, it is lightweight enough for single-handed handling during setup. Length tolerance is 3.0000 inches, width tolerance is plus or minus 0.0040 inches, and thickness tolerance is 0.0020 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis rectangular rod is appropriate for shop and field fabrication work where stainless steel corrosion resistance and ease of machining are both required. Common applications include brackets, spacers, shims, slide rails, and custom hardware components in light industrial, HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical assembly contexts. The 6-foot length provides sufficient stock for most custom cut-to-length jobs without the waste associated with longer bar lengths. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance trades will find this bar stock suitable for lathe, mill, and drill press operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e303 stainless steel alloy for free-machining performance and corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e72 inches (6 feet) overall length — ready for cut-to-length fabrication\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTight width tolerance of plus or minus 0.0040 inches for consistent fit-up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThickness tolerance of 0.0020 inches supports close-tolerance part production\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.28 pounds per piece — manageable single-piece handling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-piece minimum order quantity allows small-quantity procurement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as standard 303 stainless steel rectangular bar stock suitable for use in any application requiring free-machining stainless flat bar in 1\/2 inch by 1\/8 inch cross-section.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eCutting and machining of stainless steel bar stock should be performed by qualified machinists or fabricators using appropriate cutting fluid and tooling rated for stainless alloys. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and cut-resistant gloves when handling or cutting bar stock.
