Manufactured to AISI Type O1 specifications, this flat stock measures 1\/16 inch thick, 3-1\/2 inches wide, and 36 inches long, and weighs 2.23 pounds. Thickness tolerance is held to plus or minus 0.001 inches, making it suitable for applications requiring close dimensional control before hardening. Machinists, tool and die makers, and metal fabricators work with this material to produce punches, dies, gauges, and custom cutting tools. O1 tool steel machines readily in the annealed state and responds well to oil-quench heat treatment to achieve high hardness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis flat stock is suited for job shop and production toolroom environments where O1 tool steel is the specified material. Typical applications include blanking dies, trim dies, form tools, arbors, and precision fixtures in both one-off and short-run manufacturing. The 36-inch bar length allows multiple blanks to be cut from a single piece, reducing material waste. Machinists and tool and die makers working in metalworking shops, maintenance departments, and manufacturing facilities are the primary users of this material in both manual and CNC machining operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAISI Type O1 oil-hardening tool steel for consistent heat-treat response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThickness held to plus or minus 0.001 inches for close-tolerance machining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth tolerance of 0.000 to minus 0.005 inches for predictable stock removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength tolerance of plus 0.015 inches ensures full nominal length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdge squareness of 0.003 inches per inch across all edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e36-inch bar length suitable for cutting multiple tool blanks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard AISI O1 oil-hardening tool steel flat bar suitable for general toolroom use wherever O1 flat stock at 1\/16 x 3-1\/2 x 36 inches is specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eCutting, grinding, and machining of tool steel flat stock should be performed by qualified machinists or tool and die makers using appropriate metalworking equipment. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment when sawing, milling, or grinding this material. Heat treatment, including hardening and tempering, should follow AISI O1 guidelines for oil quenching and should be performed in a controlled environment by personnel familiar with tool steel metallurgy. Allow the workpiece to cool properly between machining operations to avoid altering material properties prior to heat treatment.\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 Type O1 Oil Hardening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-1\/2 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: plus or minus 0.001 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.000 to minus 0.005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus 0.015 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdge Squareness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.003 inches per inch on all edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.23 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: STARRETT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 54266\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541590212914,"sku":"54266","price":228.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6555d28ffd7e02d6cc316d25961d7428_21a90daa-1cea-4322-b730-2244d3a9c6ae.jpg?v=1785880090","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-54266-o1-tool-steel-flat-stock-1-16x3-5x36in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
