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

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

I used this to make a laid-back bicycle seat post. I bent it and then make vertical supports that went down to the frame to form a triangle. I wanted a lower seat and moved back to provide enough leg room. I weigh in at about 400lbs and it has worked wonderfully!

I did not actually end up using this rod. However, it was shipped exactly as described. Definitely very hard carbon steel, in the shape of a rod. Very challenging to cut; I used a cutoff wheel on a Dremel tool and it worked with some minor frustration. If, in the future, I am in the market for another carbon steel rod available in small quantities on Amazon Prime, I will definitely consider this rod.

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

This bar is great quality and the price was right. the finish on the bar was better than I expected it to be.

Saw other complaints but received and cannot see any issues..Product measures at 1.495 inches so Ill take that as temp or micrometer variances...only super minor surface flash rusting in one little spot that came off with a wipe of WD40 and acetone...

I made a floating arm Trebuchet as a family project to have a little fun during the 4th of July weekend up on the farm. I needed a pretty solid piece of steel rod to mount the counterweights. Locally it was hard to find what I needed at the length I wanted without paying more in labor to have it cut then what the material cost. I took a look on Amazon.com and found this rod. The price was good and through Amazon-Prime shipping was cheap. I ordered it and was pleased with how quickly it arrived and better yet the care that was used to ensure the rod was not damaged in shipment. The folks who packed it did an excellent job of packaging it up to ensure the ends were not damaged in shipment. Good quality steel and nice clean cuts. I filed the ends slightly to take the rough edges off. If I have a need for something like this in the future, I will most certainly consider using Amazon.com again.

Item exactly as advertised

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.

Just what I needed without buying 20 of it.
