Manufactured to AISI Type O1 specifications, this flat bar measures 3\/32 inches thick, 3 inches wide, and 36 inches long. Thickness and squareness tolerances are held to plus or minus 0.001 inches, making this stock suitable for applications requiring close dimensional control before heat treatment. At 2.88 pounds per piece, it is a practical single-piece workable length for most shop setups. Machinists, toolmakers, and die makers work with this material regularly when producing punches, dies, gauges, and custom tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eO1 tool steel flat stock is used in both job shops and production toolrooms where oil-hardening steel is specified for its good machinability in the annealed state and stable dimensional change during hardening. This bar is suited to fabricating flat tools, wear plates, stripper plates, and similar components. It ships in the annealed condition and is intended for machining prior to oil quench heat treatment. UNSPSC code 31231200 identifies this as a raw metal bar stock commodity used across general manufacturing and maintenance trades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAISI Type O1 oil-hardening tool steel — machinable in annealed state, oil quenched for final hardness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThickness held to plus or minus 0.001 inches for consistent stock removal planning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth tolerance of 0.000 to minus 0.005 inches ensures the bar fits into slots and fixtures without interference\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength tolerance of plus 0.015 inches provides slight oversize for facing or squaring operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSquareness held to 0.003 inches per inch on all edges — suitable for reference surfaces and precision layouts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-piece 36-inch length minimizes handling and allows multiple blanks to be cut from one bar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard AISI Type O1 oil-hardening tool steel flat bar suitable for general toolroom, die shop, and precision machining applications requiring annealed tool steel stock in 3\/32 inch by 3 inch cross-section.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eTool steel flat stock is cut, ground, and machined by toolmakers and machinists using conventional metalworking equipment. Always follow shop-specific heat treatment procedures and use appropriate personal protective equipment when cutting or grinding hardened or annealed tool steel. Heat treatment to final hardness should be performed by qualified personnel following AISI O1 quench and temper guidelines. Deburr all edges after cutting to prevent handling injuries and to ensure accurate layout and fit-up.\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: 3\/32 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 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\u003eSquareness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.003 inches per inch on all edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.88 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: 54286\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539510395186,"sku":"54286","price":246.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6555d28ffd7e02d6cc316d25961d7428_8e643c23-5e3e-49fd-8ec8-161d1020ce51.jpg?v=1785842185","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-54286-o1-tool-steel-flat-stock-3x36-inch","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
