It measures 0.25 inches thick, 0.5 inches wide, and 18 inches long, weighing 0.64 pounds. The stock ships in an annealed (soft) condition, ready for machining to final form before oil-hardening heat treatment. Thickness tolerance is held to plus or minus 0.001 inches, giving machinists and tool and die makers a tight, reliable starting dimension. Squareness across all edges is maintained at 0.003 per inch. This is a standard-stock precision-ground flat bar intended for professional shop use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eO1 tool steel flat stock is used in machine shops, tool rooms, and fabrication environments wherever a machinable, oil-hardenable steel with predictable heat-treat response is required. Common applications include punches, dies, gauges, cutting tools, and small fixture components. The 18-inch length suits a wide range of bench and mill operations. This material is worked by machinists, tool and die makers, and skilled fabricators using conventional milling, drilling, and grinding equipment prior to hardening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAISI Type O1 oil-hardening tool steel — predictable hardening response and good dimensional stability after heat treatment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThickness tolerance of plus or minus 0.001 inches for consistent stock removal calculations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWidth tolerance of 0.0000 to negative 0.005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLength tolerance of plus 0.250 inches, minus 0 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSquareness held to 0.003 per inch on all edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShips in annealed condition — fully machinable before hardening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard O1 oil-hardening tool steel flat bar for general toolroom and die shop use where AISI Type O1 material specification is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMachining and heat treatment of tool steel should be performed by qualified machinists or tool and die makers familiar with O1 steel characteristics. Allow adequate stock for grinding after hardening, as minor dimensional changes occur during heat treatment. Follow established shop safety practices when handling freshly hardened or ground steel. Consult the material manufacturer or a heat-treat specialist for specific austenitizing temperature, quench media, and tempering guidelines appropriate to the finished tool geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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 Type O1 Oil Hardening\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\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: 0.0000 to negative 0.005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus 0.250 inches, minus 0 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquareness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.003 per inch on all edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.64 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31231200\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: STARRETT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 54070\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51538819285298,"sku":"54070","price":75.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6555d28ffd7e02d6cc316d25961d7428_1d876e1b-e646-42f2-8583-e5412cb81192.jpg?v=1785827441","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-54070-o1-tool-steel-flat-stock-1-4x1-2x18-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
