Drill Rod Tool Steels 58024 O1 Tool Steel Flat Stock

Product Description

The DRILL ROD TOOL STEELS 58024 is an O1 oil-hardening tool steel flat stock bar measuring 1-1/4 inches thick, 4 inches wide, and 36 inches long. Conforming to AISI Type O1 material specification, this flat stock is manufactured to tight dimensional tolerances: thickness tolerance of plus or minus 0.001 inches, width tolerance of plus 0.005 to minus 0.000 inches, and length tolerance of plus 0.5 inches. At 51.56 pounds, this is a substantial piece suited for tool and die shops, machine shops, and metalworking operations requiring consistent stock for fabricating dies, punches, gauges, and cutting tools.

O1 tool steel flat stock is used in applications where a tough, wear-resistant steel blank is needed before heat treatment. This bar is sized for demanding toolroom work, including die making, jig fabrication, and punch plate production. Machinists and tool and die makers work with this material in both job shops and production environments. The oil-hardening characteristic allows controlled hardening with minimal distortion when quenched, making it a standard choice for precision tooling components.

Key Features

• AISI Type O1 oil-hardening tool steel for controlled heat treatment and minimal distortion
• Thickness tolerance of plus or minus 0.001 inches for precision fitment in tooling applications
• Width tolerance of plus 0.005 to minus 0.000 inches
• Length tolerance of plus 0.5 inches allows for saw-cut finishing to final dimension
• Squareness: edge 0.003 inches per inch of thickness, end 0.004 inches per inch of thickness
• Substantial 51.56-pound bar weight suitable for large die and punch fabrication

Compatibility

Designed as a standard AISI Type O1 oil-hardening tool steel flat stock for use in toolroom, die making, and precision machining applications requiring ground flat stock in this size profile.

Installation Notes

This material is worked by qualified machinists and tool and die makers using conventional milling, grinding, and EDM equipment. Always follow established shop safety procedures when cutting or machining tool steel, including use of appropriate personal protective equipment and secure workholding. Heat treatment, including oil quenching and tempering, should be performed by qualified personnel following the material manufacturer's thermal processing guidelines. Verify final dimensions after any saw-cut operations, as the length tolerance allows for finish grinding to exact length.
