National Hardware solid flat 1-1/2" x 72" plain steel vs 6" x 6" x 1/4" A36 steel plates, 4-pack, hot-rolled base plates
Key Differences
National Hardware (A) is a long 1-1/2" x 72" hot-rolled plain steel flat bar favored for cutting and flexible uses; AOKLIT (B) supplies four fixed 6" x 6" x 1/4" A36 steel plates offering higher-grade A36 strength and weldability but limited to fixed plate sizes. Choose A if you need a long, easily cut flat bar and more size flexibility; choose B if you need thick A36 plates for higher-strength, weld-ready base-plate applications
