Description
When you’re dealing with pulleys, sheaves, or gears that keep slipping on their shafts, you need good key stock to lock everything in place. This 3/8 inch square steel bar gives you a solid foundation for making custom keys that’ll hold up to the torque and stress your equipment dishes out. Whether you’re fixing an old tractor or building something new, having quality key stock on hand saves trips to town.
What You’re Getting
- Precision-cut square steel bar that machines cleanly and fits properly
- Full 12-inch length gives you plenty of material for multiple keys or longer applications
- Cold-rolled steel construction provides consistent hardness and strength throughout
- Standard 3/8 inch dimensions work with common keyway sizes on most farm equipment
Built for Real Farm Work
This key stock is perfect for repairs on tractors, balers, mowers, and other agricultural equipment where pulleys and gears need to be locked to shafts. You’ll find 3/8 inch keyways on everything from PTO shafts to implement drives, making this size one of the most useful to keep in your shop.
Made to Last
Good key stock needs to be tough enough to handle shear forces without breaking, but not so hard it’s difficult to machine. This cold-rolled steel hits that sweet spot – it cuts and files nicely when you’re fitting it, but won’t give up when the equipment’s working hard.
Good to Know
Most keys need to be fitted to length, so having a hacksaw or cutoff wheel handy makes the job easier. When cutting keyways, remember that the key should fit snug but not so tight you need a hammer to get it in place. A light tap should seat it properly.
