Drill Rod Tool Steels 869014 O1 Tool Steel Flat Stock

Product Description

The DRILL ROD TOOL STEELS 869014 is an O1 oil-hardening tool steel flat stock bar used in precision toolmaking, die making, and machining applications. Measuring 3/32 inches thick, 3/8 inches wide, and 18 inches long, this flat stock is manufactured to AISI Type O1 specifications and is suited for applications requiring tight dimensional tolerances. Thickness tolerance is held to plus or minus 0.001 inches, width tolerance is plus 0.005 inches to 0.000 inches, and length tolerance is plus 0.25 inches. Machinists, tool and die makers, and metal fabricators work with this material in both shop and production environments.

O1 tool steel is a general-purpose oil-hardening grade widely used for cutting tools, punches, dies, gauges, and precision ground flat stock applications. This flat bar is appropriate for low- to medium-production tooling where good wear resistance and dimensional stability after heat treatment are required. It is well suited for shop fabrication of custom tooling, fixtures, and wear components in both small machine shops and industrial tool rooms.

Installation Notes

This material is typically cut, ground, and machined by tool and die makers or machinists prior to heat treatment. Standard shop safety practices apply when cutting or grinding tool steel. Oil hardening should be performed by qualified heat-treat personnel following AISI O1 heat treatment guidelines. Allow material to reach ambient temperature before precision measurement to ensure dimensional accuracy.
