Value Collection BH.438X72 Steel Hex Bar 72 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BH.438X72 is a cold-drawn steel hexagon bar measuring 0.4375 inches width across flats and 72 inches in overall length. Manufactured to ASTM A108 material specification, this hex bar delivers consistent dimensional tolerances and surface finish suited to precision machining, fabrication, and general metalworking applications. At 3.4 pounds per piece, it is a practical stock length for shop use. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians rely on ASTM A108 cold-drawn bar stock for its improved machinability and tighter straightness tolerances compared to hot-rolled alternatives.

This hex bar is appropriate for use in machine shops, fabrication facilities, and maintenance environments where a standard hex profile is required for shafting, fastener blanks, tooling, or structural components. The 72-inch length makes it suitable for cutting multiple shorter pieces from a single bar. It is commonly used in both light industrial and commercial fabrication settings.

Key Features

• ASTM A108 cold-drawn steel construction for consistent dimensional accuracy
• 0.4375 inches width across flats for standard hex profile applications
• 72 inches overall length provides flexibility for multiple cut pieces
• Hexagon cross-section simplifies gripping, chucking, and fixturing
• 3.4 pounds — manageable single-bar weight for bench and machine use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose stock-length hex bar suited for machining, fabrication, and maintenance applications requiring an ASTM A108 cold-drawn steel hexagon profile.

Installation Notes

Cutting and machining should be performed by qualified machinists or fabricators using appropriate tooling for cold-drawn steel bar stock. Secure the bar firmly in a vise or chuck before cutting to prevent movement. Always wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when cutting or machining bar stock. Deburr all cut ends before handling or use in assemblies.
