Value Collection JR01.0X72 1215 Steel Round Rod 1x72 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JR01.0X72 is a 1215 grade steel round rod measuring 1 inch in diameter and 72 inches in length. Produced with a cold finish and mill heat treatment, this rod offers consistent dimensional tolerances and a smooth surface suitable for machining, fabrication, and general metalworking applications. At 16.2 pounds, the rod provides substantial stock for turning, threading, and secondary processing operations. The 1215 alloy designation indicates a resulfurized and rephosphorized free-machining carbon steel, making it well-suited for high-speed screw machine work and applications where surface finish and chip control are priorities.

This round rod is used in machine shops, fabrication facilities, and maintenance departments across a wide range of industries. Common applications include shaft blanks, spacers, pins, bushings, and threaded fastener stock. The cold finish process improves surface smoothness and tightens dimensional accuracy compared to hot-rolled alternatives, making it a preferred choice when close-tolerance turned parts are required. Machinists and fabricators working with manual lathes, CNC turning centers, or screw machines will find this stock appropriate for most free-machining steel applications.

Key Features

• 1215 free-machining steel grade optimized for high-speed turning and screw machine operations
• Cold finish processing delivers improved surface quality and tighter dimensional tolerances
• 1 inch diameter provides versatile stock size for shafts, pins, spacers, and bushings
• 72 inch length offers full 6-foot bar stock in a single piece
• Mill heat treatment condition suitable for further machining without additional annealing in most applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose free-machining steel bar stock compatible with standard lathe, mill, and screw machine setups requiring 1 inch round stock in 1215 grade.

Installation Notes

Cutting and machining of steel round rod should be performed by qualified machinists or fabricators using appropriate cutting tools, coolants, and personal protective equipment. Secure the workpiece properly in the chuck or vise before any cutting operation to prevent movement. Wear eye protection and follow applicable shop safety standards when cutting, grinding, or drilling this material. Dispose of metal chips and coolant in accordance with local environmental regulations.
