Measuring 5\/64 inches thick, 3\/4 inches wide, and 36 inches long, this flat bar ships at 0.61 pounds. A2 tool steel is valued for its balanced combination of wear resistance, toughness, and dimensional stability during air-hardening heat treatment, making it a standard material choice for punches, dies, blades, and forming tools. Thickness tolerance holds to plus or minus 0.001 inches, supporting applications where dimensional consistency is critical from the start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis flat stock is suited for machine shops, tool and die operations, and maintenance facilities that fabricate or repair cutting tools, stamping dies, and similar tooling components. The 36-inch length accommodates multiple blanks from a single bar, reducing setup time on bandsaws or cold saws. The A2 specification makes it appropriate for both prototype tooling and production die work where air-hardening treatment will follow machining. Trade professionals in metal fabrication, industrial maintenance, and precision machining are the primary installers and users of this material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eA2 air-hardening tool steel for dimensional stability and wear resistance after heat treatment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThickness of 5\/64 inches held to plus or minus 0.001 inches tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWidth of 3\/4 inches with a plus 0.000 to 0.005 inches tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLength of 36 inches with a plus or minus 0.250 to 0.500 inches tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSquare tolerance of plus or minus 0.003 inches for consistent cross-section geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeighs 0.61 pounds per 36-inch bar  -  easy to handle and store\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an AISI Type A2 air-hardening tool steel flat bar suitable for use in punch and die fabrication, cutting tool blanks, and general tool room stock applications where A2 material specification is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMachining of A2 tool steel flat stock should be performed before heat treatment; air-hardening is typically carried out by a qualified heat treater following all applicable shop safety procedures. Use appropriate personal protective equipment when cutting or grinding tool steel. Secure the bar firmly in a vise or fixture before sawing or milling to prevent movement and maintain cut accuracy. Follow your facility's material handling and waste disposal procedures for tool steel chips and offcuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tool Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Specification\u003c\/strong\u003e: A2 Air-Hardening (AISI Type A2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/64 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 36 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus or minus 0.001 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus 0.000 to 0.005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus or minus 0.250 to 0.500 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus or minus 0.003 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.61 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31231200\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: DRILL ROD TOOL STEELS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 02630804\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DRILL ROD \u0026 TOOL STEELS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52121818366258,"sku":"02630804","price":66.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0bd010a1cae711f9686084786dbdb869_8284eda1-ac05-4c26-ba92-aa48f9a603f4.jpg?v=1790084829","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/drill-rod-tool-steels-02630804-a2-tool-steel-flat-stock","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
