Measuring 0.375 inches thick by 1 inch wide by 18 inches long, this flat stock ships in an annealed condition ready for machining before heat treatment. A2 tool steel is known for its dimensional stability during air-hardening, making it a practical choice for punches, dies, gauges, and cutting tools. The bar holds a thickness tolerance of plus or minus 0.001 inches and a length tolerance of plus or minus 0.062 inches, meeting close-tolerance shop requirements without additional stock removal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis flat stock is suited for machine shops, tool and die shops, and maintenance facilities where precision steel bar stock is needed for fabricating or replacing tooling components. The 18-inch length provides a useful starting blank for most bench or mill work. A2 material is commonly specified where moderate toughness and good wear resistance are required after heat treat, particularly in low-to-medium production tooling scenarios. Machinists and tool makers typically work this stock in its annealed state before sending parts to heat treat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA2 air-hardening tool steel offers good dimensional stability during heat treatment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTight thickness tolerance of plus or minus 0.001 inches for close-tolerance tooling work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth tolerance of plus 0.000 to minus 0.005 inches supports precise fit-up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength tolerance of plus or minus 0.062 inches on 18-inch bar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSquare tolerance of plus or minus 0.003 inches across the section\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShips as single bar with no minimum order quantity above one piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard A2 air-hardening tool steel flat stock blank suitable for general toolmaking, punch and die fabrication, and precision machining applications where AISI A2 material specification is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMachining and grinding of A2 tool steel flat stock should be performed in the annealed condition prior to hardening. Heat treatment including austenitizing and air quench should be performed by a qualified heat treater following recognized procedures for AISI A2 tool steel. Use appropriate personal protective equipment when cutting, grinding, or machining steel bar stock. Consult applicable shop safety standards for handling sharp-edged bar 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 A2 Air-Hardening Tool Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\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 0.000 to minus 0.005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus or minus 0.062 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: 1.91 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: 86224102\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DRILL ROD \u0026 TOOL STEELS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51994524418354,"sku":"86224102","price":110.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0bd010a1cae711f9686084786dbdb869_0dee141e-1a68-406f-ab9c-8d43cdc98a34.jpg?v=1789991972","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/drill-rod-tool-steels-86224102-a2-tool-steel-flat-stock","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
