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

It was perfect to specs.

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.

Just what I needed without buying 20 of it.

Ordered two in a row, had to return both. Supposed to be one inch diameter and both are 1 1/8 diameter. Waste of time.

Exactly as described. Completely satified

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.

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.

Metal was perfect and the cuts were square. Great product and Im glad I dont have to drive an hour to get quality metal anymore!

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

This steel rod was to proper size and length
