Value Collection 32012700 Aluminum Rectangular Bar 6061

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 32012700 is a solid aluminum rectangular bar machined from Alloy 6061, one of the most widely used structural aluminum alloys in industrial and fabrication applications. This bar measures 72 inches long, 4 inches wide, and 2 inches thick, with a length tolerance of plus or minus 0.250 inches. At 58 pounds, it provides substantial mass for heavy-duty structural, framing, and machining work. Alloy 6061 offers a strong balance of machinability, weldability, and corrosion resistance, making it a reliable choice for shops, fabricators, and maintenance trades requiring a versatile aluminum stock piece.

This rectangular bar is suited for general industrial fabrication, structural support applications, custom machining projects, and maintenance or repair operations requiring cut-to-size aluminum stock. It is commonly used in manufacturing facilities, machine shops, and construction environments where a rigid, machinable aluminum section is needed. The 4 inch by 2 inch cross-section provides a solid profile appropriate for load-bearing brackets, frames, fixtures, and tooling bases. Fabricators working with CNC equipment or manual mills will find the 6061 alloy easy to work with across standard cutting and drilling operations.

Key Features

• Alloy 6061 aluminum provides good machinability, weldability, and corrosion resistance
• Full 72 inch length yields a 6-foot stock bar for flexible cut-down applications
• 4 inch wide by 2 inch thick cross-section supports structural and load-bearing uses
• Length tolerance of plus or minus 0.250 inches for standard fabrication applications
• Weighs 58 pounds — substantial stock suitable for heavy structural work

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose aluminum rectangular bar stock compatible with standard industrial fabrication, machining, and structural applications requiring Alloy 6061 material in a 4 inch by 2 inch profile.

Installation Notes

This bar stock is typically handled by machinists, fabricators, or maintenance technicians using standard aluminum-rated cutting tools, band saws, or milling equipment. Secure the bar firmly in a vise or fixture before cutting to prevent movement. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when cutting or drilling aluminum stock. Follow applicable shop safety standards and local codes when incorporating cut sections into structural assemblies.
