Value Collection ST01.0X36 Stainless Steel Round Rod

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION ST01.0X36 is a 303 stainless steel round rod measuring 1 inch in diameter and 36 inches in length. It arrives turned, ground, and polished to a smooth, precise finish suitable for close-tolerance machining and fabrication work. Weighing 8.25 pounds, this rod is a solid, full-length bar stock commonly used by machinists, maintenance technicians, pipefitters, and fabricators who need free-machining stainless material in a standard round profile. The 303 alloy grade is selected specifically for its excellent machinability compared to other austenitic stainless grades, making it a go-to choice for high-volume turning and threading operations.

This round rod is suited for use in light industrial, commercial, and maintenance environments where corrosion resistance and dimensional accuracy are both required. Typical applications include fabricating shafts, studs, pins, fittings, and custom fasteners on manual or CNC lathes. It is appropriate for shops and field fabrication situations where bar stock needs to be cut to length, turned down, or threaded to custom dimensions. The turned, ground, and polished surface finish reduces additional prep time and supports tighter dimensional tolerances right off the shelf.

Key Features

• 303 stainless steel alloy for superior free-machining performance and good corrosion resistance
• 1 inch diameter, 36 inch length — standard bar stock dimensions for lathe and mill operations
• Turned, ground, and polished surface finish for improved dimensional accuracy and reduced prep time
• Solid round profile suitable for turning shafts, pins, studs, and threaded components
• Ships as a single 36-inch bar at 8.25 pounds

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1-inch-diameter 303 stainless steel round bar suitable for general machining, fabrication, and maintenance repair applications requiring free-machining austenitic stainless bar stock.

Installation Notes

Cutting, turning, or threading this rod should be performed by a qualified machinist or fabricator using appropriate cutting tools rated for stainless steel. Always wear proper PPE including eye protection and cut-resistant gloves when cutting or handling bar stock. Secure the workpiece firmly in a vise, chuck, or collet before machining to prevent movement. Deburr all cut ends before handling or installing into any assembly.
