The bar measures 3\/16 inches thick, 8 inches wide, and 18 inches long and weighs 7.73 pounds. O1 tool steel is a general-purpose oil-hardening grade conforming to AISI Type O1, known for its good machinability in the annealed state and its ability to hold sharp edges after heat treatment. This stock ships in the soft, annealed condition and must be hardened and tempered by the end user or a heat treater before use in cutting or forming applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis flat stock is suited for small-shop and production toolroom environments where machinists need pre-cut blanks for hand tools, punches, dies, gauges, and similar toolroom parts. The 8-inch wide format provides enough cross-section to lay out multiple smaller blanks from a single piece, reducing material waste. Fabricators working in general metalworking, moldmaking, and light die work will find this size practical for a range of annealed-state machining operations prior to heat treat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAISI Type O1 oil-hardening tool steel in the annealed condition for ease of machining before heat treatment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThickness tolerance of plus or minus 0.001 inches for precise fit in close-tolerance toolroom applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth tolerance of plus 0.005 inches, minus 0.000 inches ensures the bar meets or exceeds nominal width\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength tolerance of plus 0.25 inches allows full usable length without undersize cutoffs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSquareness tolerance of plus or minus 0.003 inches on edges and 0.004 inches per inch of thickness on ends supports accurate layout and fixturing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-piece minimum order quantity suitable for low-volume toolroom use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard AISI Type O1 oil-hardening tool steel flat bar for general toolroom and die-making applications requiring annealed stock in a 3\/16 x 8 x 18 inch format.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis material is supplied in the soft, annealed state and requires oil-quench heat treatment to develop full hardness. Heat treating O1 tool steel should be performed by a qualified heat treater following established metallurgical procedures for the grade. All machining, grinding, and drilling operations should be completed before hardening. Proper eye protection, machine guarding, and chip containment are required during all cutting and grinding operations on this stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: AISI Type O1 Oil Hardening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18 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 0.005 inches, minus 0.000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus 0.25 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\u003eSquareness\u003c\/strong\u003e: Edge 0.003 inches, End 0.004 inches per inch of thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7.73 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31231200\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 57740\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DRILL ROD \u0026 TOOL STEELS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51972088824114,"sku":"57740","price":212.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0bd010a1cae711f9686084786dbdb869_c21626e0-124c-4897-a801-3d2ad9f2fb73.jpg?v=1789962381","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/drill-rod-tool-steels-57740-o1-tool-steel-flat-stock","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
