Value Collection ST01.0X72 303 Ss Round Rod 1 in X 72 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION ST01.0X72 is a 303 stainless steel round rod measuring 1 inch in diameter and 72 inches (6 feet) in length. The rod is turned, ground, and polished to close tolerances, producing a smooth, consistent surface finish suitable for precision machining and fabrication work. At 16.27 pounds, it offers substantial material for custom part fabrication, shaft work, and structural applications. The 303 alloy provides excellent machinability compared to other austenitic stainless grades, making it a practical choice for shops working with lathes, mills, and screw machines.

This round rod is used across industrial, commercial, and trade applications where corrosion resistance and machinability are both required. Typical uses include fabricating shafts, fasteners, fittings, bushings, and custom hardware in plumbing, HVAC, and general mechanical service environments. The turned, ground, and polished finish means the rod arrives ready for secondary machining operations or direct use where a clean surface is needed. It is handled by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians working in shops or in the field.

Key Features

• 303 stainless steel alloy offers superior machinability among austenitic stainless grades

• 1 inch diameter by 72 inch length provides ample stock for multiple parts per bar
• Corrosion-resistant alloy suitable for wet, humid, and chemically active environments
• Single-piece packaging supports per-unit procurement without minimum bulk commitment

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 303 stainless steel round bar stock compatible with standard metalworking equipment including CNC lathes, manual lathes, mills, and screw machines requiring 1-inch-diameter round stock.

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, and machining of stainless steel round rod should be performed by qualified machinists or fabricators using appropriate cutting tools rated for stainless alloys. Always wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and cut-resistant gloves when handling and cutting bar stock. Secure the rod properly in a vise or chuck before any machining operation to prevent movement. Follow applicable shop safety standards and local codes when working with metal cutting equipment.
