Value Collection JR01.0X12 1215 Steel Round Rod 1in X 12in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JR01.0X12 is a 1215 grade steel round rod measuring 1 inch in diameter and 12 inches in length with a cold finish mill treatment. This rod is a general-purpose steel bar stock used in machining, fabrication, and repair applications. The 1215 alloy is a resulfurized and rephosphorized free-machining steel known for its superior machinability compared to standard carbon steels. The cold finish process produces tighter dimensional tolerances and a smoother surface than hot-rolled alternatives. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and fabricators commonly work with this material for turned parts, shafts, pins, and spacers.

This round rod is suited for light to medium machining operations in job shops, maintenance facilities, and manufacturing environments. The 12-inch length makes it practical for short-run parts and prototype work where minimal material waste is preferred. Its free-machining characteristics reduce tool wear and improve surface finish on lathes, mills, and screw machines, making it a common choice for precision turned components in both production and repair settings.

Key Features

• 1215 free-machining steel alloy for high machinability and reduced tool wear
• Cold finish mill treatment provides tighter dimensional tolerances and smoother surface
• 1 inch diameter x 12 inches length for short-run and prototype machining tasks
• Suitable for turned parts, pins, shafts, and spacers
• Single-piece packaging with no minimum order beyond one unit

Compatibility

Designed as a standard bar stock replacement or raw material supply for machining and fabrication applications requiring 1215 grade free-machining steel in a 1-inch round rod form.

Installation Notes

This product is raw bar stock intended for machining or fabrication prior to use. Machinists and fabricators should follow standard safe-handling procedures when cutting, turning, or drilling steel rod stock. Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection and gloves when operating cutting or machining equipment. Secure material properly in a vise or chuck before machining to prevent movement.
