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

It’s unfortunate I didn’t put the dial indicator on it when it came last week. It easily measures close to an 1-1/16th. I received the 1” pillow block bearings, and was shocked when the shaft wasn’t even close. I’ll have to find a section of 1” shaft locally. Packaging was excellent and it arrived quickly just wrong size.

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

The 5 metal rods were delivered as specified. They were in excellent condition. They were used in a Science project to test how fast heat travels through different materials. Highly recommended. Ed perez

Its as advertised and shipped very fast. Its cold rolled steel. Needed it for a project I was working on and works well.

Item exactly as advertised

Just what I needed without buying 20 of it.

Well, its round, about a foot long and the ends arent quite square, but its almost exactly what is described. Im down rating this because it has a 4 inch long i wide UPC label stuck to the working surface of the rod. I need to slide close tolerance bearings onto this rod and Ive spent the last 30 minutes trying to scrape the label off without scratching the surface. I would be willing to pay twice the price if I could be certain that they were not going to put stickers on.

I bought this to make a 200+lb dumbell for singe arm Kroc rows. This thing is the perfect length, and stronger than anything at the gym. I just bought a cheap bicycle grip for the center and it holds standard plates like it was made for them (I only use 10s and 5s). You can then use standard spring collars, or like me, get the standard lockjaw collars. Great for a Herculean home gym.

as described

Would recommend, size was good price was good. Using as a trial for bowl gouge before using a higher carbon steel.
