OVERVIEW

Reliable 1/2" Square Keystock for Shop Repairs

When a machine goes down because of a sheared key, you need a replacement that fits right and holds up. The Walter Key Steel (48H545) is your go-to solution for fixing drive shafts on welders, generators, compressors, and shop tools. This 12-inch bar of 1/2" x 1/2" carbon steel is tough, durable, and ready to be cut to whatever length you need. Stop wasting time trying to file down oversized stock; this keystock is precision-drawn to slide perfectly into standard keyways without the headache.

Every welder and fabricator knows that keeping equipment running is just as important as the welding itself. Whether you are fixing a wire feeder motor or a shop fan pulley, having a stick of quality keystock in your toolbox saves the day. This carbon steel bar is strong enough to handle the torque of heavy-duty machinery but easy enough to cut with a hacksaw or abrasive wheel. It’s the kind of basic, essential hardware that keeps your shop productive.

Don't let a ten-cent part hold up a thousand-dollar job. This square stock is clean, straight, and consistent. It works great for replacing worn-out keys in pulleys, sprockets, and hubs. Just measure your keyway, cut the piece you need, file the edges smooth, and tap it in. With 12 inches of material, one bar will last you through multiple repairs. Add the Walter 48H545 to your maintenance kit and be ready for the next breakdown.
