Value Collection BB01.125X12 Steel Round Rod 1.125 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BB01.125X12 is a 1018 low carbon steel round rod measuring 1.125 inches in diameter and 12 inches in length. Produced with a cold finish, this rod offers consistent dimensional accuracy and a smooth surface suitable for machining, fabrication, and general metalworking applications. The 1018 grade provides good weldability, machinability, and moderate tensile strength, making it a practical choice for a wide range of structural and mechanical uses. At 3.48 pounds, it is a solid, single-length bar ready for cutting, turning, or threading on-site or in a shop environment.

This round rod is suited for use in light fabrication shops, maintenance and repair operations, and trade environments where a reliable, machinable steel stock is needed. Common applications include shafts, pins, dowels, spacers, and general-purpose structural components. The cold finish process improves surface smoothness and tightens dimensional tolerances compared to hot-rolled alternatives, making it easier to work with standard machine tools. It is appropriate for both one-off repair work and small production runs in industrial or trade settings.

Key Features

• 1018 low carbon steel grade with good machinability and weldability
• Cold finish process delivers tighter dimensional tolerances and smoother surface
• 1.125 inch diameter suitable for shaft, pin, and dowel applications
• 12 inch length provides a manageable stock piece for cut-to-length work
• Mill heat treatment condition for consistent mechanical properties throughout
• 3.48 pound weight per piece for easy handling and transport

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1018 cold-finish low carbon steel round rod for general fabrication and machining use across industrial, maintenance, and trade applications.

Installation Notes

This rod is typically cut, turned, or shaped by machinists or fabricators using standard metalworking equipment such as lathes, band saws, or milling machines. Use appropriate personal protective equipment when cutting or machining. Secure the workpiece firmly before any cutting or turning operation. Follow applicable shop safety standards and local codes when welding or fastening the finished component into a larger assembly.
