High Quality 3/8″ X 3 1/2″ X 24″ Starrett Precision Ground Flat Stock Low Carbon Steel 54973

Flat stock in low carbon steel with precision ground faces and squared edges. Size: 3/8 inch thick by 3 1/2 inch wide by 24 inches long. Quantity: 1 piece.

Edges are machined to be square and burr-free, reducing deburring time during setup

Uniform cross-section supports consistent milling, drilling, and tapping results

Low carbon steel offers good machinability and weldability for rapid fabrication

Precision ground surfaces minimize warp and improve alignment in fixtures and bases

Ideal for use in fixtures, shims, base plates, alignment blocks, and project prototypes
