Value Collection JR.5X72 1215 Steel Round Rod

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JR.5X72 is a 1215 grade steel round rod measuring 0.5 inches in diameter and 72 inches in length. It is produced with a cold finish and supplied in mill condition, resulting in consistent dimensional accuracy and a smooth surface suitable for secondary machining operations. This rod stock is a standard bar-stock form used in fabrication, machining, and repair applications across manufacturing, industrial maintenance, and construction trades. At 4.1 pounds, it is sized for single-piece handling and is commonly worked on lathes, mills, or cut-off saws by machinists and fabricators.

This round rod is suited for general-purpose machining and fabrication tasks where a free-machining steel grade is preferred. Grade 1215 steel is a resulfurized and rephosphorized free-machining carbon steel, making it well-suited for high-speed turning, threading, and drilling operations. It is a common choice for shafts, pins, studs, spacers, and custom fasteners in light to medium-duty applications. The cold finish process improves surface quality and dimensional tolerances compared to hot-rolled alternatives, reducing the need for extensive pre-machining preparation.

Key Features

• Grade 1215 free-machining steel for efficient cutting, threading, and drilling
• Cold finish process delivers improved surface smoothness and tighter dimensional tolerances
• 0.5 inch diameter and 72 inch length provide a full 6-foot working stock
• Mill condition supply — no additional heat treatment applied
• Single-piece package quantity supports low-volume and maintenance shop use
• UNSPSC Code 30102404 for procurement and catalog classification

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose bar stock replacement or raw material for machined components in light industrial, maintenance, and fabrication applications requiring a 0.5 inch diameter free-machining steel round rod.

Installation Notes

This round rod is raw bar stock intended for machining or fabrication before final use. Always wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when cutting, grinding, or machining. Secure the workpiece firmly in a vise, chuck, or fixture before any cutting operation. Follow applicable shop safety standards and equipment manufacturer guidelines when operating lathes, saws, or milling equipment.
