1x4 Inch 6061 Aluminum Flat Bar - 4 Foot Length T6511 Solid Extruded Mill Stock

About This Product

Metalworkers and DIY fabricators, this 6061 aluminum flat bar is perfect for all kinds of projects!

The 1x4 inch dimensions give you a substantial piece that's still manageable to work with, and the 4-foot length means you can cut multiple pieces from one bar.

The T6511 temper means it's been solution heat-treated and stress-relieved by stretching, so it machines beautifully without warping or twisting.

I've used this exact size for everything from custom brackets and frames to structural supports and decorative elements.

The 6061 alloy is the workhorse of aluminum - strong, corrosion-resistant, and easy to weld or machine.

The surface finish is clean and consistent, typical of quality mill stock.

Whether you're using a bandsaw, chop saw, or even a good-quality hacksaw, this aluminum cuts cleanly without too much effort.

Drilling and tapping are straightforward too - the material chips nicely without gumming up your tools.

I've made router table fences, welding jigs, and even some furniture components with this stock, and it always performs reliably.

The dimensions are accurate - the 1x4 measurement is pretty spot-on, with the +.07/-0 tolerance meaning it might be slightly over but never under size.

If you need precise dimensions for critical applications, you might want to mill it down, but for most projects, it's ready to use right out of the box.

The weight is substantial but manageable - about 1.5 pounds per foot if my math is right.

Whether you're a professional metalworker or a hobbyist tackling home projects, having some 6061 flat bar on hand is always useful.

It's one of those basic materials that you'll find uses for once you have it in your shop.
