Best Choice 3/16″ X 2″ X 18″ Starrett Oversize Precision Ground Flat Stock AISI A-2 Air Hardened Steel 57165

3/16″ X 2″ X 18″ Starrett Oversize Precision Ground Flat Stock | AISI A-2 Air Hardened Steel | 57165 is Starrett precision ground flat stock, supplied ground flat, square and parallel in aisi a-2 air hardened steel so it goes straight into layout, fixturing and machining work without further surfacing.

Precision ground flat stock provides consistent reference surfaces for fixturing and machining setups.

AISI A-2 air hardened steel offers good wear resistance and edge stability after material processing.

Oversize length allows extra material for finish passes, cleanup, or custom fixturing without re-sourcing.

Flat stock is well suited for die making, tooling, stamping, and fabrication tasks requiring rigid reference stock.

Stable thickness and edge alignment reduce setup variance during milling, grinding, and assembly operations.
