Value Collection JR02.5X36 1215 Steel Round Rod

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JR02.5X36 is a 1215 steel round rod measuring 2.5 inches in diameter and 36 inches in length with a cold finish. Cold-finished 1215 steel is a free-machining carbon steel alloy known for its excellent machinability, tight dimensional tolerances, and smooth surface condition. This rod is commonly used in machine shops, fabrication facilities, and maintenance departments where precision-cut stock is required. At 50.6 pounds, this is a heavy-duty bar suited for high-volume material removal applications on lathes, mills, and screw machines.

This round rod is used in industrial and commercial settings where free-machining steel stock is needed for turned parts, shafts, pins, bushings, and general machined components. The cold-finish process improves surface quality and dimensional accuracy compared to hot-rolled bar, making it appropriate for applications that require close tolerances without extensive pre-machining cleanup. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and fabricators working in production or job-shop environments are the primary end users.

Key Features

• 1215 free-machining steel grade offers superior machinability for high-speed production turning and milling
• Cold-finish surface treatment provides improved dimensional accuracy and smoother bar stock compared to hot-rolled alternatives
• 2.5-inch diameter provides substantial cross-section for large-diameter turned components and heavy shafts
• 36-inch length delivers a single usable bar length suitable for multiple part yields per stick
• 50.6-pound weight reflects solid, full-length bar stock with no voids or hollow sections

Compatibility

Designed as a standard free-machining steel round bar for use in general machining, fabrication, and maintenance-repair-operations applications requiring 1215 cold-finished steel stock in 2.5-inch diameter.

Installation Notes

This bar stock is processed on lathes, mills, band saws, and screw machines by qualified machinists and fabricators. Secure the workpiece properly in a chuck or collet rated for the bar diameter before cutting or turning. Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection and gloves when cutting or handling bar stock of this weight. Consult material safety data for 1215 steel when grinding or machining, as metalworking operations generate chips and dust that require proper ventilation and disposal practices.
