Value Collection 32000606 Aluminum Hex Bar 5/8 in 24 in 6061

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 32000606 is a solid aluminum hexagon bar measuring 5/8 inch width across flats and 24 inches in length. Manufactured from Alloy 6061, this hex bar offers a strong strength-to-weight ratio and good machinability, making it a practical choice for fabrication, repair, and custom component work. The hexagonal cross-section provides flat gripping surfaces that work well in tooling setups and lathe or mill operations. At 2.33 pounds, it is easy to handle and cut to length on the job. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians commonly stock this bar for general-purpose metalworking applications.

This aluminum hex bar is suited for a wide range of shop and field fabrication tasks. Common applications include machining custom fasteners, standoffs, spacers, fittings, and mechanical components where a pre-formed hex profile saves setup time. The 6061 alloy is widely used in structural and mechanical applications due to its weldability and corrosion resistance. It is appropriate for both light industrial use and general maintenance operations where a ready-to-machine aluminum bar stock is needed.

Key Features

• Alloy 6061 aluminum for good machinability and corrosion resistance
• Hexagonal cross-section provides flat gripping surfaces for tooling and fixturing
• 5/8 inch width across flats for consistent hex geometry
• 24 inch length provides ample stock for multiple cuts or full-length use
• Lightweight at 2.33 pounds for easy handling and transport

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose aluminum hex bar stock suitable for machining, fabrication, and repair applications requiring 6061 alloy with a 5/8 inch hex profile.

Installation Notes

Cutting and machining should be performed by qualified machinists or fabricators using appropriate cutting tools rated for aluminum alloy stock. Secure the bar firmly in a vise or chuck before cutting to prevent movement. Deburr all cut edges after machining to avoid sharp surfaces. Follow applicable shop safety practices when operating cutting or turning equipment.
