A2 tool steel is an air-hardening, cold-work die steel known for its dimensional stability during heat treatment and good toughness-to-hardness balance. This flat stock is used by toolmakers, machinists, and die makers to fabricate punches, dies, gauges, and cutting tools. The piece ships at 14 pounds and carries close-tolerance dimensional control with a thickness tolerance of +0.010 to +0.015 inches, making it suited for precision tooling applications where consistent stock removal is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis flat stock is appropriate for job-shop machining environments, in-house tool rooms, and maintenance-and-repair operations requiring pre-cut tool steel bar. Typical applications include blanking dies, forming dies, precision jigs, and fixture components in both light manufacturing and heavy industrial settings. The 36-inch length allows single-piece layouts for most standard die sets or can be cut to multiple shorter blanks. Because it arrives in the annealed condition, it machines with conventional tooling before hardening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA2 air-hardening tool steel  -  minimal distortion during heat treat compared to oil-hardening grades\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnnealed condition allows conventional milling, drilling, and grinding before hardening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThickness tolerance of +0.010 to +0.015 inches for consistent stock-removal planning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth tolerance of +0.010 to +0.015 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength tolerance of +0.250 to +0.500 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSquareness held to 0.003 inches on edges and 0.004 inches per inch of thickness on ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose A2 tool steel flat stock bar suitable for fabrication of cold-work tooling, dies, punches, gauges, and fixture components where air-hardening steel is specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eCutting and machining of tool steel flat stock should be performed by qualified machinists or toolmakers using appropriate high-speed or carbide tooling. Heat treatment to final hardness should follow AISI A2 tool steel austenitizing and air-quench procedures and is typically performed by a certified heat-treating facility. Always wear appropriate PPE when grinding or cutting tool steel. Verify final dimensions after heat treatment, as some dimensional change may occur even with air-hardening grades.\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/32 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: 36 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.010 to +0.015 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.010 to +0.015 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +0.250 to +0.500 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: +\/- 0.003 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquareness\u003c\/strong\u003e: Edge 0.003 inches, Ends 0.004 inches per inch of thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14 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: 86463700\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DRILL ROD \u0026 TOOL STEELS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51994233831730,"sku":"86463700","price":619.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0bd010a1cae711f9686084786dbdb869_01addc42-4da4-4242-8375-76c3357de00d.jpg?v=1789991760","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/drill-rod-tool-steels-86463700-a2-flat-stock-5-32x8x36","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
