Value Collection BH.375X72 Steel Hex Bar 0.375 in X 72 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BH.375X72 is a cold-finish steel hexagon bar with a 0.375-inch width across flats and an overall length of 72 inches. Manufactured to 1018 material grade, this hex bar delivers consistent dimensional tolerances and good machinability, making it a practical choice for general fabrication, machining stock, and tooling applications. At 2.5 pounds, it handles easily on the bench or in the machine shop. Metalworkers, maintenance machinists, and industrial fabricators rely on hex bar stock like this for producing fasteners, shafts, standoffs, hand tools, and custom hardware components where a six-sided profile is required.

This hex bar is suited for light to medium fabrication work in maintenance, repair, and operations environments, as well as job shops and production facilities. The 1018 mild steel grade responds well to turning, milling, drilling, and tapping operations. It is also weldable using common MIG and stick processes. The 72-inch length provides enough stock to yield multiple finished parts from a single bar, reducing waste and setup time on standard lathes and CNC turning centers.

Key Features

• 1018 mild steel grade for reliable machinability and weldability
• 0.375-inch width across flats provides a true hexagonal profile for wrench engagement or chuck gripping
• 72-inch full-length bar maximizes yield per piece for multi-part runs
• Consistent cross-section supports accurate sawing, parting, and facing operations
• 2.5-pound weight is manageable for single-operator handling and setup

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose cold-finish steel hex bar suitable for machining, fabrication, and maintenance repair operations requiring 1018-grade mild steel stock in a hexagonal profile.

Installation Notes

Cutting and machining should be performed by qualified metalworkers using appropriate guards, eye protection, and cutting fluid as required by the operation. Secure the bar firmly in a vise, chuck, or collet before cutting to prevent movement. Deburr all cut ends before handling or incorporating into assemblies. Follow applicable shop safety standards and local codes when welding or heat-treating 1018 steel.
