Value Collection BH01.0X36 Steel Hex Bar 1 in X 36 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BH01.0X36 is a cold-drawn steel hexagon bar measuring 1 inch width across flats and 36 inches in length. Manufactured to material grade 1018, this hex bar delivers consistent dimensional tolerances and good machinability, making it a practical choice for fabrication, machining, and general industrial applications. At 8.9 pounds, it offers solid stock for turning, milling, or cutting to length. The 1018 low-carbon steel composition balances strength and workability, supporting a wide range of shop and field fabrication tasks performed by machinists, pipefitters, millwrights, and general tradespeople.

This hex bar is suited for use in job-shop machining environments, maintenance and repair operations, and light industrial fabrication. Common applications include producing hex drive components, custom fasteners, standoffs, and shaft stock. It is appropriate for both manual and CNC lathe work. The 36-inch length provides a full bar section that can be cut to custom lengths as required by the application, minimizing material waste in production settings.

Key Features

• 1018 low-carbon steel for reliable machinability and moderate strength
• 1 inch width across flats for standard hex tooling compatibility
• 36 inch overall length provides full bar stock for cut-to-length fabrication
• Cold-drawn finish supports consistent dimensional accuracy across the bar length
• 8.9 pound weight suitable for bench or machine handling without lifting equipment in most setups

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose steel hex bar stock suitable for machining, fabrication, and repair applications requiring 1018-grade cold-drawn hexagonal bar material.

Installation Notes

Cutting and machining of steel hex bar stock should be performed by qualified machinists or tradespeople using appropriate personal protective equipment including eye and hand protection. Secure the bar properly in a vise, chuck, or fixture before cutting or turning to prevent movement. Deburr all cut ends before handling or installing machined components. Follow applicable shop safety standards and local codes when performing fabrication work.
