The Starrett 55073 is a precision-ground low carbon flat stock measuring 1-1/2 inches thick by 6 inches wide by 24 inches long. This rectangular steel bar stock is manufactured to Starrett's exacting tolerances for use in tool and die work, machine shop applications, and general fabrication projects.

Key Features:

• Low carbon steel composition ideal for applications not requiring deep hardening
• Can be carburized or case hardened for surface hardness when needed
• Precision-ground flat surfaces for accurate machining and layout work
• Generous 1-1/2" x 6" x 24" dimensions provide material for multiple projects
• Starrett quality ensures consistent dimensions and material properties

Low carbon steel offers excellent machinability and weldability, making it a versatile choice for tool making, jigs, fixtures, and general manufacturing applications. The large cross-section allows for milling, drilling, and shaping to create custom tooling components while maintaining structural rigidity.
