1018 Carbon Steel Round Rod, Unpolished (Mill) Finish, Cold Finished Temper, ASTM A108, 1 Diameter, 12 Length

These steel rods worked great for a welding art project. However, I can save up to 80% buying rods at online-metals with a local warehouse offering will call in my city. So these are good, but much more expensive than local metal shops.

I was looking at my small cnc lathe , and a brilliant idea came over me like bed sheets fresh out of the dryer. All i needed was some 3/4 steel rod , preferably 1018 , something affordable and prone to good finishes with carbide inserts.. Amazon had no 3/4 rod through prime , thats when I found this 1 with next day prime delivery.. excellent rod.. the end

It was perfect to specs.

As advertised

Just right

Rods were individually packed in plastic tubes. No rust, and they were straight. What more would you want? Welded nice with a basic flux gun.

as described

Just what I needed without buying 20 of it.

Worked perfectly for my application.

Im using this round stock for trailer axles.It is good quality and best priced.
