Manufactured to AISI Type O1 specifications, this flat stock measures 0.0625 inches thick, 1.5 inches wide, and 18 inches long, with a finished weight of 0.48 pounds. Thickness and squareness tolerances are held to plus or minus 0.001 inches, making it suitable for applications where dimensional consistency is critical. Machinists and tool-and-die makers use this stock as raw material for punches, dies, gauges, and cutting tools that will be oil-quench hardened after machining.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eO1 tool steel flat stock is a standard material in job shops, toolrooms, and maintenance facilities. This bar is supplied in the annealed condition, which allows conventional machining before heat treatment. It is sized for small-to-medium tooling components and fits common bench vise and surface grinder workholding setups. The 18-inch length provides enough stock for multiple small blanks or a single elongated tool body. Edge squareness is held to 0.003 inches per inch on all edges, supporting accurate layout and setup directly from stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAISI Type O1 oil-hardening tool steel — annealed condition, ready for machining and subsequent oil quench\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThickness: 0.0625 inches with plus or minus 0.001 inches tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth: 1.5 inches with a tolerance of 0.0000 to minus 0.005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 18 inches with a plus 0.250 inches length tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdge squareness: 0.003 inches per inch on all edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 0.48 pounds per piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose O1 tool steel flat bar for toolroom and die shop use where AISI Type O1 oil-hardening material is specified.
