Hobbyists, makers, and repair technicians working on precision assemblies, edge banding, or shim stock need a material that is dimensionally consistent and reliably rust-free. This A2 stainless steel flat bar strip is stocked specifically for those applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach piece is a continuous flat bar roll of A2 (Grade 304) stainless steel, measuring 0.3 mm thick × 5 mm wide × 2,000 mm long (approximately 0.012 in × 0.197 in × 78.7 in). The strip has a smooth mill finish on both faces and clean sheared edges. A2 \/ 304 grade provides solid resistance to oxidation and mild chemical exposure without surface treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTypical uses include stainless steel shim stock for machinery alignment, thin metal banding for bundling or edge protection, flexible spring-steel-style clips and retaining straps, and decorative inlay strips in woodworking or furniture repair. The 2 m roll length gives enough material for most single-project needs while keeping off-cuts to a minimum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"hdiy-compat\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"hdiy-compat-icon\"\u003e🔩\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e This strip is A2 \/ Grade 304 stainless steel.
