Value Collection FR.125X72 Steel Round Rod 12L14

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION FR.125X72 is a 12L14 cold-finished, annealed steel round rod measuring 0.125 inches in diameter and 72 inches (6 feet) in overall length. Weighing 0.25 pounds, this rod is machined from 12L14 free-machining steel, a leaded grade known for excellent machinability, close tolerancing, and smooth surface finish after cold drawing. It is a general-purpose raw material stock used by machinists, fabricators, maintenance technicians, and tradespeople who need a small-diameter steel rod for cutting, threading, or turning to finished dimensions.

This rod is suited for light fabrication, custom part production, fixture building, and repair applications across industrial, commercial, and trade environments. The annealed condition reduces internal stress and improves workability, making it easier to cut, drill, and machine without excessive tool wear. The cold-finished surface provides tighter dimensional tolerances and a smoother outer surface compared to hot-rolled equivalents, which is valuable when close fits are required in finished assemblies.

Key Features

• 12L14 free-machining steel grade for superior chip breaking and reduced tool wear
• Cold-finished surface for tighter dimensional tolerances and smooth finish
• Annealed heat treatment reduces internal stress and improves workability
• 0.125 inch diameter by 72 inch length provides full 6-foot stock for cutting to size
• Lightweight at 0.25 pounds, easy to handle and transport on the job

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose cold-finished steel round rod stock compatible with standard metalworking, machining, and fabrication applications requiring 0.125 inch diameter 12L14 steel bar material.

Installation Notes

This is raw material stock intended for machining or fabrication prior to use in an assembly. Cutting, drilling, and threading should be performed with appropriate metalworking tools and with proper workholding in place. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment when cutting or machining. Consult applicable facility safety and machining standards before processing.
