Solid round aluminium bar Ø 8 mm × 500 mm
The price includes a pack of 10 solid bar sections, each 500 mm long with a nominal diameter of 8 mm. The bar has an unfinished aluminium surface. You can use it whole or cut it into shorter blanks.

Drawing and dimensional symbols
d = 8 mm denotes the outside diameter of the solid bar, measured across opposing edges of its circular end face. L = 500 mm denotes the length between the end faces. The ±2 mm tolerance applies to cut length.
Material and surface
The bar is offered unfinished, without an additional decorative finish. The surface is not brushed, polished, anodised or painted. The main photo illustrates the material's appearance.
Applications and selection for machining
The Ø 8 mm bar can be used as a blank for turning spacers or making bushes after drilling a hole. When machining short sections, allow space for clamping and an allowance for end facing.
Preparation and cutting
The length cutting tolerance is ±2 mm. Buying one unit means a pack of 10 sections, each 500 mm long. Each additional ordered unit means another such pack.
For another dimension contact the shop and confirm cutting feasibility and cost.

Delivery of the 500 mm section
Transport availability is affected by the packed bar's length and total shipment mass. Check delivery methods and costs in the basket for your address and selected number of pieces.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
What will I receive when ordering three packs?
Three packs, totalling 30 separate sections, each 500 mm long. If you need one longer bar, check the available lengths beside the price.
Can this bar be turned into a part with a finished diameter of 8 mm?
Ø 8 mm is the nominal dimension before machining. Turning the outer surface reduces the diameter. If the finished part must be exactly 8 mm, select material with an allowance suitable for turning and the required tolerance.
Will the bar have a brushed surface?
The bar has a natural, unfinished surface. If a decorative brushed effect is required, this treatment must be planned separately.
What if the drawing requires a specific aluminium grade?
Before ordering, send the grade designation and required temper. We will confirm whether the material currently available meets these requirements.
Will I receive a section exactly 500 mm long?
500 mm is the nominal length. With the stated cutting tolerance ±2 mm, section length can range from 498 to 502 mm. If you need a narrower tolerance, agree it before purchase.
