Value Collection 7075-1.25x12R Aluminum Round Rod Alloy 7075

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 7075-1.25x12R is a solid aluminum round rod machined from Alloy 7075 stock. Measuring 1.25 inches in diameter and 12 inches in length, this rod is suited for applications demanding high strength-to-weight ratio and good machinability. Alloy 7075 is a zinc-based aluminum alloy commonly specified in aerospace, tooling, and structural fabrication where standard 6061 does not meet strength requirements. Machinists, fabricators, and toolmakers stock this alloy for jigs, fixtures, shafts, and custom hardware. The piece weight is approximately 1.487 pounds, making it manageable for bench and CNC work.

This round rod is a general-purpose raw material cut used in industrial fabrication shops, machine shops, and maintenance facilities. It is appropriate for both prototype and production work where high-strength aluminum is specified. Common applications include precision shafts, pins, bushings, spacers, and structural components subject to moderate-to-high mechanical loads. The 12-inch length is suitable for turning down on a lathe or cutting to finished dimensions on a band saw or cold saw.

Key Features

• Alloy 7075 aluminum — higher tensile strength than 6061, suitable for demanding structural and tooling applications
• 1.25 inch diameter provides substantial cross-section for shafts, pins, and turned components
• 12 inch length allows for multiple shorter pieces or a single precision-turned part
• Solid round rod profile ready for lathe, mill, or saw operations
• Package quantity of 1 rod — order in single-piece increments

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose raw aluminum round rod suitable for machining and fabrication applications that call for Alloy 7075 stock in a 1.25 inch diameter round profile.

Installation Notes

This is a raw material stock item intended for machining, cutting, or fabrication prior to installation. Machinists should use appropriate cutting speeds and feeds for 7075 aluminum and ensure adequate chip clearing to prevent work hardening at the cut surface. Secure the rod properly in a vise or chuck before any cutting or turning operation. Follow applicable shop safety practices including use of eye protection and proper clamping.
