Manufactured to AISI Type O1 specifications, this flat stock measures 3\/8 inches thick by 3\/8 inches wide by 36 inches long and ships in an annealed, machinable condition ready for layout, cutting, and rough shaping before heat treatment. Thickness tolerance is held to plus or minus 0.001 inches, providing the dimensional consistency required for precision tooling blanks. At 1.44 pounds per piece, it is a manageable bar length for bench and mill work. Licensed machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance machinists are the primary users of this material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eO1 tool steel flat stock is suited for low-to-medium production tooling where oil-quench hardening will follow rough machining. Common applications include punches, dies, gauges, jigs, fixtures, and cutting tools. The 36-inch bar length allows multiple blanks to be cut from a single piece, reducing material waste. This stock is appropriate for both job shop and in-house maintenance toolroom use in industrial, manufacturing, and metalworking environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAISI Type O1 oil-hardening tool steel construction for reliable heat-treat response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThickness and squareness tolerances held to plus or minus 0.001 inches for precision fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth tolerance of 0.000 to 0.005 inches with length tolerance of plus 0.015 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdge squareness held to 0.003 inches per inch across all edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e36-inch length provides flexibility to cut multiple blanks from one bar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShips in annealed condition, ready for machining prior to hardening\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 stock suitable for general toolroom fabrication of punches, dies, gauges, and fixtures where oil-quench heat treatment will be applied.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eCutting and machining should be performed while the stock is in its annealed state prior to heat treatment. Use appropriate personal protective equipment and machine guarding when sawing or milling tool steel bar stock. Heat treatment, including hardening and tempering, should be performed by qualified personnel following established metallurgical procedures for AISI O1 tool steel. Allow material to reach ambient temperature before performing precision layout or final grinding operations.\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\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 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 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: Edge: All 0.003 inches per inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.44 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: 54406\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541274951986,"sku":"54406","price":179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6555d28ffd7e02d6cc316d25961d7428_2f86c19d-b8a9-45a4-838b-88f965da42ef.jpg?v=1785871274","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-54406-o1-tool-steel-flat-stock-3-8-x-3-8-x-36-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
