Value Collection BB.625X36 1018 Steel Round Rod

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BB.625X36 is a cold-finished 1018 steel round rod measuring 0.625 inches in diameter and 36 inches in length. Cold finishing produces a smooth, precise surface with tight dimensional tolerances, making this rod suitable for machining, fabricating, and general industrial applications. Grade 1018 is a low-carbon steel known for its good machinability, weldability, and moderate strength. At 3.2 pounds, the rod is easy to handle for bench work or light fabrication. It is commonly used by machinists, millwrights, and fabricators who need a reliable, machinable steel bar stock in a standard size.

This round rod is suited for a wide range of light-to-medium fabrication tasks including shafts, pins, dowels, spacers, and structural supports in both shop and field settings. The cold-finished surface condition reduces the need for extensive pre-machining cleanup, saving time on the lathe or mill. It is appropriate for residential and commercial maintenance applications, custom fabrication shops, and production machining environments where grade 1018 low-carbon steel meets material specifications.

Installation Notes

Cutting and machining should be performed by qualified machinists or fabricators using appropriate tooling for low-carbon steel. Always wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when cutting or grinding. Secure the workpiece properly before any cutting or drilling operation. Deburr all cut edges before fitting into assemblies to prevent injury and ensure proper fit.
