Flat Bar Short Open 3 mm OK-P2 by No name — metal profile, 3mm thickness

Flat Bar Short Open 3 mm OK-P2 by No name is a short open flat bar made of metal with a consistent 3 mm thickness. Designed as a flat stock profile, it provides a straight, uniform cross-section suitable for light structural elements, framing details, reinforcement, edging and small fabrication tasks. The simple geometry and thin cross-section make it convenient to cut, drill, bend and weld for workshop, construction or hobby uses.

Advantages

The flat bar delivers predictable mechanical properties across its length and a uniform thickness of 3 mm that supports precise joining and alignment. Its short open form factor reduces material waste for small projects and improves handling in tight spaces. Compatibility with common metalworking operations — cutting, drilling, bending and welding — makes it a versatile component for repairs and custom fabrications.

Suitable for

• Light framing and edging in interior and exterior applications
• Repair and reinforcement of metal or wooden assemblies
• Workshop fabrication, brackets and small mounts
• DIY hobby projects, model building and prototyping

Key specifications

• Profile type: short open flat bar (flat stock)
• Material: metal (unspecified alloy)
• Thickness: 3 mm
• Cross-section: uniform flat profile suitable for cutting, drilling, bending and welding
• Form: short length designed for small-scale applications and reduced handling

How to use

Select the flat bar and measure the required length for your task. Mark cutting lines and use appropriate metal-cutting tools such as a hacksaw, angle grinder with a cutting disc or a band saw. Secure the piece in a vice before drilling or tapping; use drill bits rated for metal and apply cutting fluid if needed. For bending, use a vise and bending brake or apply controlled force with appropriate supports to achieve the desired angle. When welding, follow standard safety procedures and ensure material compatibility and proper cleaning of contact surfaces.

Usage recommendations

For best results, store the flat bar in a dry environment to reduce surface corrosion, choose cutting and drilling speeds suitable for thin metal to avoid deformation, and consider edge treatment (filing or grinding) after cutting to remove burrs. Verify material suitability for load-bearing applications and consult an engineer for structural uses.
