Value Collection BH.75X36 Steel Hexagon Bar 1018

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BH.75X36 is a cold-finished 1018 steel hexagon bar measuring 0.75 inches width across flats and 36 inches in overall length. It weighs approximately 5.1 pounds. This hex bar is used as raw stock material for machining, fabrication, and tooling applications across metalworking, industrial maintenance, and trade shop environments. The 1018 material specification indicates a low-carbon steel with good machinability, weldability, and surface finish characteristics. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians use this type of bar stock to produce custom fasteners, shafts, standoffs, and other precision components on manual or CNC equipment.

This hex bar is suited for general-purpose shop and industrial applications where a standard hex cross-section is required. It is commonly cut to length and machined into bolts, hex drive components, custom standoffs, and fixture hardware. Its 36-inch length provides a practical single-piece workable blank for most bench and lathe operations. The 1018 steel grade is widely accepted in light-to-medium duty fabrication where high tensile strength or hardness is not the primary requirement.

Key Features

• 1018 low-carbon steel for reliable machinability and weldability
• 0.75 inch width across flats — standard hex sizing for common tooling applications
• 36 inch overall length provides a full working blank for cut-to-length operations
• Hex cross-section eliminates rotation in chuck or vise during machining
• Single-piece packaging — sold as one bar per unit

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose raw stock hex bar suitable for use in manual lathes, CNC turning centers, milling setups, and fabrication benches where 0.75 inch hex stock in 1018 steel is specified.

Installation Notes

This is raw bar stock intended for cutting, machining, or fabrication — not a finished component. Use appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when cutting or machining. Secure the bar fully in a vise, chuck, or collet before performing any cutting operation. Deburr all cut ends before handling or further machining to prevent injury and dimensional interference.
